Both great razors. Aesthetically the Wosty is one of my favourites now. The patina and scales are stunning. But it's the Gem that is the superior shaver, all I can say is Wow. Thank you Dylan (holli4pirating) for both, your razors have always exceeded my expectations. Great shaves have got me through some busy, hectic days.

No picture today, gents, sorry.

Today's shave brought to you by Queen, via my iPod.

Razors: Wade and Butcher 11/16 and Joseph Rodgers 7/8
Brush: Semogue 2000
SC: TOBS Avocado, facelathered ice cold. Love it.
Strop: JIMBO-ROOOOOOOOOO
Music: Queen playlist, starting with Don't Stop Me Now, and finishing with Princes of the Universe

Result: Absolutely loving these cold water shaves... Smoooooooooth

Hi Brad,
You do exist ...you've been operating incognito lately. I guess work was consuming your time.

Nice to have you back (playing catch up) and nice setup. Those are mighty fine blades .

No sweat Jeremy,
Who needs pictures?....We'll just use our imagination buddy .

So, did you do 1/2 and 1/2 with the 2 razors or what's the deal?

Nice tunes playing in the background too (especially the "princes of the Universe"). Isn't that the theme for Highlander, the series (Duncan McCloud from the clan McCloud)? I think David (nubskillz) will appreciate this as I believe (if I am not mistaken) he is working on post-production of the DVDs for this series.

Yes, it was difficult to get time to set up and take photos - today is my Wednesday - writing, Chinese class, personal day etc - Not sure how much I'll get done but its nice to do an SOTD post. Thank you for the comment - they are indeed mighty fine blades, the Gem shaves unbelievably well. Yay for Wednesday.

Half of the face with one, half with the other... I generally only do WTG passes these days since I have a bunch of razors to test... On days I test three razors I do the sideburns and the majority of the cheek with one razor per side, and then the last of the cheek and the mustache/beard area with the third razor.

Also, Yes, I believe Princes of the Universe is the Highlander theme.

Cheers,
Jeremy
