    Damn man, you really showed that gem whose boss. Awesome shave with such a great looking piece of history. Amazing how these razors still get the job done even a hundred years later. Couldn’t agree more about using a lot of soap. I figure I have 40 years worth of soap in my den, might as well use a decent amount to produce a good lather. More soap is always better than not enough. Have a good weekend Matt!

      Thanks man! It’s a really good shaver, looks intimidating but it’s nice and easy to find the angle! I love using lots of soap, I find it makes lathering easier instead of trying to stretch out too little soap! You have a good weekend as well, man!

    Nice shave man! Nice to see somebody using a legacy soap! I love the Proraso Green aftershave. Use it with PAA Awesome Sauce and you got yourself a good time! Have a great weekend!

      Thanks Ben! Proraso is always a good choice! I need to get a new tub of the green as it’s almost gone and I need to grab the splash too, I’ve heard it’s even better than the soap smell! I appreciate you watching and hope you have a great weekend!

    Gem's razor always looks interesting!
    Stirling doggy bowl is my favorite lather bowl. With Proraso Green that bowl looks abundant lather.
    Nice shave, Matt, & have a great day!

      If you haven’t tried a GEM razor I definitely recommend them! They are easy to find and affordable and provide great shaves for my coarse facial hair and sensitive skin! That bowl really is just amazing for lathering, I use it almost every shave! Thank you Hoon, you as well!

    Hey. Nice one. I live these gem razors. 2 or 20 days of growth they just mow through. Have a good rest of your weekend

      Thanks!! I love Gem razors too, they are just so efficient, really good for my coarse hair. Hope you’re enjoying your weekend!

    Hey Matt. Love the lather catcher. They are pretty other worldly with the curves and overbuilt designs. It makes them special IMO. I appreciate whatever effort you feel comfortable putting in to you video production. I never minded the basic set it and forget it approach but the second angle is definitely a nice touch. Do whatever makes you happy. And congratulations on passing 250¡

      Thank you, Eric! I appreciate that! Other worldly is a great way to describe the lather catcher! Very special indeed, and a great shaver! Have a great weekend!

    I think I love these old SEs more than DEs. If the blades were a comparable price to DE I'd use my Gem junior everyday

    • @shavingtheday
      @shavingtheday  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I almost think I like the SE’s more too sometimes! Thankfully you can get way more shaves out of a GEM blade than a DE, at least from my experience

      @@shavingtheday good point. I bet they strop better too. Maybe I will use them more 👍
