GEM Days 7b/14: second Generation GEM Micromatic Clog-Pruf Peerless – Sat 23 Nov 2024

• Blade: #Personna #GEM PTFE
• Lather: #Mitchell's Wool Fat
• Post: #Ralon – Original
The Fat really agrees with my face. I usually use moisturiser after my shaves, but with The Fat I feel like I don't need it.

The soft heart and Fatip unsurprisingly treated me very well, but the real star of my travel setup was the Manchurian Zenith. This scrubby badger feels wonderful and makes lathering trivial.

The ring of death is making loading difficult, I'll soon have to smush it down. Fascinating stuff.

Growing that ring of death is very satisfying. I'm tempted to use this soap for AA, but I'm afraid it might die on me prematurely. #AustereAugustProblems

We travelled from the coast to our in-laws today, so I'm stuffed and tipsy for this evening shave.
The bottom of the tub showed itself today. I have a ring of death going again, and that feels good.

I've determined that Don Josè is the perfect scent for a lazy beach hotel vacation, so I keep running with it. I paired it with a banana-coconut smoothie at the breakfast buffet, except I had to substitute the coconut for lack of coconuts. Life is full of tough choices.

Don Josè's banana plays the main role here, with coconut adding only support. More about the #BVWSC here: https://sub.wetshaving.social/post/1146634/1782530

Another #AustereAugust in the books. A great soft and hardware combo that made it easy to enjoy consistency and ritual.
Oh, and there was that speed-Wecking fad... weird.

This blade is chugging along brilliantly. I do not foresee any problems with the last four Shaves of Weckoning.

Three-pass afternoon shave at reasonable temperatures. I had almost forgotten the feeling 🥵. The heat dome over central Europe is dissipating and rain brought cold air. Rain++;
