Here is a list of my "Shave Stuff". You can see pix of most of the items if you hover your mouse over the item name. Then click. If you get to some pix fine, if not then there is no pix. Can tell you the pix are only of razors and brushes. Rocketman has brought to my attention that a password for SMF is needed to view my pix. My intention is not to recruit members for SMF. I am working on a way to make the links work. Will hopefully have it fixed in the next week or so.
Razors in my Regular GEM/Ever Ready/Eversharp-Schick Rotation
''Got to tell you DE shavers you should give the GEM a try. I alternate between this rotation and my Gillette Rotation when I need to change blades. Just adds a bit of spice to my shaving experience. I have recently been introduced to injector shaving. Love it and have a couple in my rotation."

Razors in my Regular Gillette Rotation
''Despite what more experience guys suggest, I change razors each day. I will throw in one of the Gillettes from my Not in My Regular Gillette Rotation List as I go through this rotation. " I alternate between this rotation and myGEM/Ever Ready Rotation when I need to change blades. Just adds a bit of spice to my shaving experience."

Razors Not in My Regular Gillette Rotation
''I use one of these razors for the one day a week to the detriment of one of the razors listed above. The razor used is determined simply by whim.''
---
My Razors Not in Use
"These razors are not currently being use and in fact most likely will never be used by me again. At some point soon I will dispose of all but the Executive and the Unused Thick Handle Tech."
---
My Single Edge Blades
"These are the blades that I can live with."
---
My Double Edge Blades
"Have settled on the 7 O'Clock blades. They provide a nice smooth shave and they last for longer than 14 shaves."
---
My Injector Blades
"Pella makes some serious good blades even for the injector razors. Great and consistent shaves.
---
My Brushes
''Why have more than one when this one works just fine day in and day out. I have more than one now because my curiosity about this old Ever Ready got the best of me''
---
My Soaps
"The Tabac was the first of my soaps & creams. I had smelled it before and the scent brought back some old memories of my youth and young adulthood."
---
My Creams
"The C&E Creams were the first ones I tried. Never used a cream before that. Have tried other creams from places like The Shave Den Shop and St Charles Shave but no longer use them. Pretty much sticking to TOBS and T&H as my main brands with a few faves that I have come across thrown in for good measure".

My After Shave Products
After Shave Milks, Balms and Toners
Fragrance - EDTs
''Got my technique down now so I can use some of the alcohol based splashes again. Just love the Thayer's and use the SCS Savory Rose on special days and Sunday. The Nine Flags was from my younger days, like before I married my wife. She seemed to always like the stuff. Found this stuff just sitting on a shelf in my basement.''
