The ER 1912 razor fitted with the Gem blade is indeed a great razor, maybe that's why at one point I owned 16 of them!
The more you use it the more you will come to appreciate just how good it is. :)

Yes I'll definitely have a few more shaves with it and see how it goes. From what I've seen Personna blades seem popular with Gem users so I might try them at a later date if these Star aren't working for me.

SOTD: 05/08/2022

Razor: Razorock Hawk V3A
Blade: Feather Pro, 2nd use
Brush: Yaqi Sagrada Familia
Bowl: Yaqi Plastic Bowl
Preshave: Bart’s Balm Preshave Sample Oil
Soap: Signature Wicstun Puck
Aftershave: Signature Wicstun Aftershave
Balm: Baxter Of California Aftershave Balm

My last caravan SOTD as I head home today. And if the drive goes as smoothly as the shave I’ll be on to a winner! The Signature Wicstun is amazing as ever! I was wondering if @BrianH would ever do a stronger EDP or EDT as I really can’t get enough of this scent.

Yes, I hear what you're saying. (y)
I managed to find a flatter angle fairly intuitivley but I've no doubt my technique requires more work.

Earlier today (Friday):

With Mrs D needing to do stuff and me needing to step in to do stuff for her meant it was a 2-pass, rush job.

First stuff to hand was the Razorock Blue Barbershop - it was just there and was grabbed, despite me using it for much of the past few weeks whilst I've been away. Well, it was a decent enough shave and seeing as I ended up being on time and not having my ears bent for the next few hours, ended up a winner. Think the Blue blade is well and truly done after 4 shaves.

Here's to a good start for the weekend for everyone.
