I had an excellent Gemonday today with the Gem pushbutton Contour with Meijer SS blade. I practiced a very light tuch and patience. I tend to get impatient and heavy handed in the more stubborn areas of the shave, which happen to be exactly were the skin on my neck is more sensitive. The prep was Proraso white balm with a little Lubriderm. The lather was Mer shavings fougère orange donkeys milk soap on SHD two band badger. A splash of witch hazel with a little lotion mixed in finish things off.

March 2, 2020I had a straight-up Micromatic Monday with a GEM Micromatic Flying Wing with the patented (by the marketing department, I'm sure) "guiding eye" technology! It really was a super smooth shave with a GEM SS PTFE blade on it's 10th shave. 3-passes and a very comfortable DFS result. The soap was Ariana & Evans Forbidden Fruit, which I REALLY enjoyed. The scent really resonated with me....the apple and brandy notes really jumped out, but there's a complexity from the floral and herbal notes that keeps it from being too sweet. The floral and fruit combination really do evoke a Garden of Eden. The lather was not overly slick, in fact it's an easy soap to rinse off, but there was plenty of slickness/glide where the lather is and more than enough protection/cushion. Last but not least is the artwork, the "Fall of Man" by Hendrick Goltzius painted in 1616. This particular scene is often illustrated with Eve collecting the fruit and/or offering a whole apple, but this work shows Eve having taken the first bite and offering the remainder of the fruit to Adam. The cat's expression is priceless....she is looking at the viewer as to if say, "these humans are morons"....I often get that same look from my cats. And in keeping with the soap "theme" the brush was a badger in a real stone (jadeite) snake/serpent-like handle.

Tuesday 3rd March Frank Shaving 28mm G4 - Le Pére Lucien Cologne Fougere - GEM Featherweight/GEM Blue Star - 4711 Cologne A great result ....but not an enjoyable shave. I wasn't happy with my new FS G4 Brush. It has a large glue bump and is not as comfortable to use as just about any other synthetic I own. I was also using a Gem Blue Star for the first time and it felt VERY rough compared to the more commonly available Stainless blades. There was also too much reaction to the 4711.
