You can see it here. And thank you for the compliments...it's a treat to use, by far one of my favorites

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.
