I will be shaving with open comb razors this month, for it is OCtober. The Gillette Standard gives me a good shave, but if the angle is too high, this razor will tug and pull.

MMOC

Shave of the Day
August 27, 2013

•Omega cream
•EverReady 200M boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem coated stainless steel blade
•Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave

Day three of Gem week

I received the EverReady 200M brush a few weeks ago with a batch of razors. I washed it with shampoo. Now it smells like the boar is in my bathroom. I let it sit with Tabac overnight, but still has a boar smell. Hope it wears off soon. The brush has the softest boar I have ever experienced.

The MMOC is still the top Gem in my den.

iKon Open Comb

Shave of the Day
August 19, 2013
•Tabac!
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•iKon open comb head with Shavecraft bulldog handle
•Shark Super Chrome blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
Tabac is a great start with thick easy to build lather and a scent that is solid and classic (and I can't describe it).
The iKon head is configured to provide an efficient and close shave.
Clubman is a great finish to any shave.
I am waiting for the iKon Slant. Maybe Thursday. Phil at Bullgoose has been great with keeping me informed.
I also have a Fatboy on the way. It is going to be a good week.

Gem Micromatic Open Comb

Shave of the Day
August 15, 2013

•Proraso cream
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer Winter Spice aftershave

The Micromatic Open Comb is my favorite razor. (Don't tell my other favorites, the Cobra, the iKons, the Weber, the slant).

The air here in Trenton has a Fall like crispness. Proraso menthol and Skin Bracer Winter Spice seems appropriate.

Gillette New Improved (1924)

Shave of the Day
August 3, 2013

•Mama Bear Bay Rum soap
•EverReady boar brush
•Gillette New Improved razor (1924)
•Astra platinum blade (6)
•Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum aftershave

Last day for the New Improved. It shaves like a dream. I don't know how long my grandpa used it, but it was well worn when I acquired it in 1974.

I used it from 1974 through 1982, but I did not take it to college ( I used a Schick injector). It was not just the start of my collection, it was the start of my love for vintage razors and wet shaving.

Today's shave includes Mama Bear soap and Pinaud VIBR. The nautical themed aftershaves are appropriate because I recall my grandfather as a boat builder and a boat captain.

The Astra blade is still performing well on shave 6.

July 31, 2013
Grandpa's razor week

•Tabac soap
•Muhle badger brush
•Gillette New Improved razor
•Astra blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman Club Royale aftershave

Day three of the New Improved. I am getting used to the way it shaves.

I see a lot of similarities with the short comb NEW.

The Astra continues to perform well.

Tabac is a great soap with a strong scent. The Clubman Club Royale pairs well with it.

Gem/EverReady Week (2)

•Proraso red tub soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem stainless steel blade
•Pinaud Lilac Vegetal aftershave

One of my favorite Gems, the MMOC shaves efficiently. The Proraso is a wonderful soap that lathers easily and provided great lubrication. What can I say about Lilac Vegetal. You either love it or hate it.

Up for tomorrow, the Gem Micromatic Clogpruf.
