Gem Blue Star Blade (1)
Made-Rite 500 PB Brush
C.O. Bigelow Cream

It was time for a new blade this morning so I fired up the OC with one of the Gem Blue Star carbon steel blades that I bought at a neighborhood pharmacy a few months ago. Wow! A superb shave, the best I've had in a long time.

Wednesday
Razor: Star 1912 SE
Blade: GEM Stainless
Brush: Synthetic
Lather: Williams soap with a bit of Rise cream added in

Result: Yesterday's shave was so nice it deserved an encore! It's amazing that a design that is so old can shave so well. Super close and very comfortable.
