    Default SOTD Nov 4, 2013

    It has been a rough 2 weeks so I did not shave since Oct 20 at the KC Shavers Meet. This is my first time posting a SOTD so be kind please.
    Here is the before pic.......

    I tried to use a Gem Micrmatic OC TTO.........

    The shaving cream was from Taranstone ( Mark). It is some good stuff! Lots of slide and lathers up very well. The brush was black badger with a handmade acrylic handle.

    But, as most of you will suspect, I was asking to much of the Gem. It clogged up after a short stroke. So I went back to the old reliable C-Mon Filarmonica shorty.......

    That took off the long beard with ease. Here is the end result..

    I will continue trying the Gem Micromatic OC for a few more times. They are aggressive.
