Definitely, do it, especially if its your Grandfathers. I'm sure you'll like it . The Gem feels a little awkward at first but it didnt take me long to get comfortable with it.

+1 The 1912 gives me a closer shave than a straight, if I didn't enjoy shaving with straights as much as I do then I would mostly use SE!

I picked up some soaps from a fellow on the B&B that he purchased from Etsy.com. I've been wanting to try the Madame Scodioli brand shaving soaps for awhile but was hesitant because I wondered whether they could contend with the classics we use.

I must say I was quite pleased. My "Fiji Mermaid" soap has a wonderful smell of the ocean and it lathered as well as any soap I have used. I am still enjoying its aroma on my cheeks! At $8/bar its worth the price of admission. The soap is pretty soft. I was able to squeeze it into one of my tin containers and I used rubber cement to attach the label.

Here's a pic of the lather I generated without much effort:

Gentlemen,

I've been under a fairly heavy project at work, and haven't posted to SRP in a few months. I'm happy to say that I've recently rejoined the land of the living, and have had ample opportunity to catch my breath and relax. Here's this week's contribution to the SOTD...
