Shaved with a GEM for the first time today. It was a GEM featherweight With persona blades. I thought something was wrong till I saw the hair was missing on my cheek. Very smooth. Will try to do a SOTD tomorrow.

Hey Legal! I was wondering what happened to you? lol! PMed you a few times, not sure if you get notifications for those... Figured you were just super busy and couldn't respond. Was going to see if someone else could help, but looking forward to meeting if we still can.

What do you do for a living, that gets you all worked up?

Nice razor btw, its freakin huge!

I don't appreciate that comment... We actually live and work by each other thank you... He gladly offered to help me out with a dinged toe on my first razor. We had planned to meet earlier but never did.

I feel like an idiot explaining myself. Thanks for my first negative experience on SRP.

Hey Dorknight, I would not worry about that too much. LegalBeagle is a lawyer, as am I. I once quoted an old saying in a post that the law is a jealous mistress, and it seems Legal has been especially busy lately, but I am sure he will get back to you. Always good to hear a noob getting help from someone like him. You will see how easy it is to repair a blade. Good luck, and keep posting and keep having fun with this way of shaving.

Warm shower, Stephan's, warm oil
Dirty Bird scuttle
Custom Badger
Truefit and Hill Almond shave cream/ glycerine
RW SRP 009 razor
SRD P1 Strop
Razorock Aluminum
Pinaud Bay Rum
Vaseline for men

Pleasant shave.

Thanks. I really appreciate it.

HOT, HOT shower, XXX, Rooney #2, Friodur 7/8", AdP AS balm, made nice work of two day growth.

Friday

Great result from the J A Hellberg frameback this morning, two passes and pretty much a GDS result (Guard Duty Smooth). I’m still not all that ‘in to’ the Mike’s Natural soap, which is a pity as it’ll last me for 50 years at least, I’m sure. I smothered myself in Bay Rum and whisky scents.

Today’s workout was a bit of a disappointment, I couldn’t get the last few reps of push ups out. I try for three sets of 25 with a minute and a half between sets as a worm up, but for some reason there was no energy there. Maybe I’m just getting too f’n old?

Almost hit two kangaroos on the way home from work…

Oh, BTW, everyone's razors are looking very spiffy lately, it makes me want another. I've seen a very nice looking Boker and a very nice looking 'Iros Keen' on the bay. Then again, it's probably cheaper for me to just buy some metal polish and make mine look a bit spiffyer.


Razor: J A Hellberg framenback | Soap: Mike’s Natural Pine and Cedarwood | After Shave: D R Harris Bay Rum | Hair Tonic: Pashana Bay Rum | EDT: ‘Whisky’ by Evaflor
