February 15th Great shave today....DFS with 3 passes. I tried a different handle on the Ever-Ready 1924, and it worked well. The extra weight and length from the handle made the razor seem more nimble -- odd as that sounds. It was easy to put on using a 10/32 set screw, and easy to take off. I can't say this (or any other different handle) will replace the original for me. I tend to be a purist with things....if the maker thought that was the handle to use, then I'm inclined to leave it alone, as long as it doesn't diminish my ability to use the razor. That said, I also like being able to "adjust" the shave experience too, so every once in a blue moon I'll probably toss a different one on there, but most of the time it'll be the original. That probably doesn't make a lick of sense to anybody but me! Also tried the Green Mountain Soap from the pass-around. It was a first-use and there is a specific feedback thread, so I've got no comment at this time 1924 Ever-Ready (Aka the "Shovel Head") with a Treet CS blade on its 7th shave Yaqi 26mm Timber Wolf Green Mountain Soap (Green-Vetiver) Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum

First shave with my newly found Gem Junior. Very comfortable, very similar to a 1912 (imagine that!). 😁

Saturday 16th February Yaqi Sagrada Familia - Vintage Old Spice - GEM Micromatic Open Comb - Treet Super CS #6 - Alum - Old Spice A/S - Dove Nourishing Cream - Aldi L'Unico EDT I've always been suitably impressed by the ingenious Micromatic mechanism. Also imagine how much a modern equivalent would cost.

Sat 16th Feb. RazoRock Plissoft 22mm Lea Classic soap PAL S/S Adjustable Schick S/S - Japan [ 2 ] Lea Classic A/S Lotion Today I used one of my Favourites the PAL Adjustable, which though admired by many for its looks does not suit everybody. Until the coming of AC/SE Razors , this was a Razor that I reached for when I wanted a special occasion Shave. I always have been able to get a trouble free close all round Shave with the PAL, and today was no exception. A lot of folk prefer the Schick adjustable , but I just prefer the looks and feel of the PAL during a Shave and it gives me a great Shave too.
