SOTD DEcember 11th GEM Micromatic OC GEM Industrial CS (2) Cella of Hagen Street Yaqi Ruby Red (24mm, Frigate Class) Second shave on the GEM Industrial CS blade wasn't as smooth as the first after doctoring it up. I will give it another stropping on leather before its next shave to see if that helps. Built my lather on the puck this morning and then incorporated a little more water while working it on my face, ended up with a thick, creamy, shiny, slick lather. Have a great day my friends!

Well today I had planned on shooting, and posting over on the YouTube Channel the 1st in a series of "Overview" videos on the Micro Matic razors. I shot the video, had it ready to go, and after 3 failed upload attempts I gave up. There will not be a TOST video this week from me. However, you do get to see this, so that's something! P.S. if anyone wants to send me a gift, these are on sale down at the Walmart. P.P.S I don't mind smelling like an old man if it means I get to use this stuff!

Tue 11th Dec. Omega 11126 boar Cyril Salter Solid Soap Supply SE V1 / V2 No 3 plate Personna S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Having tried out my beefed up V1 Razor [ V2 -No3 plate fitted] with a Pesonna blade and got favourable results, another outing was needed. As the previous blade was hand loaded, I decided to inject a fresh blade, and despite a mismatch of parts no problems encountered. Today I did not rush the Shave which was very smooth, and was able without difficulty get an ultra close all round finish, of the Face Stroking variety. Probably my best ever Shave with this Razor since I got it , will now see how back to back Shaves go.

Did you get to any of the shaving shops on your visit there? Absolutely not. I did that ten years ago when they were still interesting (and I used to work within walking distance of Jermyn Street). Since then anything shaving related to come out of the UK has been surpassed by French, Italian, Belgian, and German products. Just like I'll finally return my Range Rover next Tuesday in order to get a car that is actually worth that sort of money. The UK is doomed. Doomed.
