Shaving: F-C-L and retouching, I did not need so many passes, but I enjoyed shaving.

Great combination of elements that have given me a magnificent, smooth and delicious shave. I have recreated myself in shaving so much that I wished it would not end, but friends "Everything good is ephemeral" ... or we think so.

Pitralon || Swiss

Parfums de Nicolaï || New York Intense

This is one smooth shaver.

Funny thing is, I have purchased several other GEM 1912s, most of them in much better shape than this, but none were as smooth. I guess that's the deal with Vintage razors, no way of knowing what we are getting.
