    • Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts “Santa Noir” w/Maggard 28mm SHD Badger
    • Razor: GEM Pushbutton
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (1)
    • Lather: Barrister & Mann - Fougère Classique - Soap
    • Post Shave: Barrister & Mann - Petrichor - Aftershave
    • Post Shave: House of Mammoth/Declaration Grooming - Cerberus - Liniment
    • Fragrance: Azzaro - Pour Homme Night Time - EdT

    Petrichor was a good one after using Fougère Classique. They’re both stanky and different. Cerberus was only used because it’s the only liniment I have, and I decided I wanted to use liniment today.

    Over the past couple of weeks I’ve been using a lot of GEM razors. MMOC 1&2, Streamline, MM24, Clog-Pruf, and now Pushbutton. I’ve enjoyed them all, to be honest. I’ve definitely had some meh shaves with GEM, but lately they’ve been nice.

      A very thorough tour of GEM world. From my perspective, safety razor design could have stopped with the MMOC. The mechanism is elegant and, for me, the shave feel is absolutely perfect. [ … and yet, I have a bunch of DE and SE razors in my collection that I refuse to part with :) ]
