Gem OCMM Gem SS/PFTE Blade (8) Made-Rite 500PB Brush Arko Shave Stick No AS
I moved from the Contour to the OCMM for today's shave. I only did a single pass with touch-up but I didn't really feel like I needed more than that. The shave was nice and close.

20 November 2012Razor: British EverReady Streamline Brush: Wet Shaving Products -- Monarch Super Silvertip Soap: D.R. Harris Arlington in Mahogany bowl AS: Krampert's Finest -- 80 Below What an amazing shave this morning. Everything finally clicked with the Arlington (dense and slick lather); the Monarch Super Silvertip is superbly soft while retaining great backbone; and the Streamline gave me one of the best shaves ever. Look out OCMM.

Greetings Thursday 22nd November 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM 1912 Junior (baton handle) Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Brush: Vie Long 13061M Horse Cream: La Toja Sensitive Aftershave: La Toja Balm Back from my trip to Fuerteventura where this year the weather has been a little mixed, but still warm. I had a scout around the major supermarkets one day and came back with these. I was unable to find a La Toja stick in any of the supermarkets despite there being a La Toja stand in one of them displaying every other item in the La Toja line! Regards Dick.

Travel kit shave
1912 Gem Jr. (G-3) PAL D-3 Travel Omega Boar PC tallow Clubman Scent WH Mennen Skin Bracer
Woo. Great shave. Last time I used this blade was when I was in the hotel at work for the baby hurricanne. It has been stored in the case in my shaving kit. No problems with rust. The travel boar is turning into a great brush. Love a good travel shave.

That stuff looks more delicious than the turkey and pumpkin pie I was thinking about a moment ago. A lot of variety there too.
