• OneBlade
• GEM SS PTFE (8)
• Plisson Pearly Gray Synth
• Barrister & Mann Arctique set
• Tom Ford Grey Vetiver EdP

The 8th shave on this GEM blade and I can definitely feel more resistance while it cuts (my Woosah) compared to the 2-shave Feather yesterday. However, the result of this shave was much better, especially on my neck. No irritation or blood at all today, which I can't say from the Feather blade on its first 2 uses.

I don't own a OneBlade but curious how did you modify the Gem to fit the OneBlade?

All that is needed is to remove the spine. Check out my OneBlade journal for a video that shows how.

Oddball shave today for several reasons and apologies for the poor photo quality.

Razor: EJ 89 + Feather Hi-Stainless (second use)
Soap: B&M Solarion in a Dirty Bird 1.5 scuttle cooled with a dozen ice cubes since it's 40 C today.
Brush: Ace Shaving 20 mm silvertip.  No handle since I still need to make one, but I wanted to evaluate the brush itself first.
Post: Nivea Sensitive Aftershave Balm.  The Feather gives a nice close shave but give me a couple of nicks and a bit of irritation as well.
