GEM Featherweight / GEM PTFE Stainless
Vintage Blades 22mm 2-Band Finest
Vintage Colgate Barber Shaving Soap
Lucky Tiger Aftershave and Face Tonic
This was the 1st use of the Colgate Barber Shaving Soap. I bought it on the BST. (Thanks,
churchilllafemme !) I grated it into the Anchor Hocking glass bowl shown. This soap produced a very nice creamy slick lather and did so very easily. This was a wonderful shave! I didn't scent the lather as I wanted to try the soap by itself. Now, this is shaving soap and only soap, so the post shave was just squeaky clean.
The important part was the lather's efficacy during the shave, which was really good. The Lucky Tiger provided for the post shave feel.
The GEM Featherweight has been working very well for me. This week has been my 1st try with this razor. It feels fairly mild, but still very efficient.
