    • Brush: Maggard 24mm Synthetic
    • Razor: GEM Damaskeene
    • Blade: Personna GEM PTFE (8)
    • Lather: Noble Otter - Logbook - Soap
    • Post Shave: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - Aftershave
    • Fragrance: Stirling Soap Co. - Varen - EdT

    I have u/visceralwatch to thank for getting this Damaskeene (and also a Flying Wing). This Dammy is the mild GEM that I’ve been yearning for! Reading through u/eldrormr’s guide to these razors, it seems like maybe I can acquire even more Damaskeene razors and find one that’s even better, but this one felt great. The efficiency was fine, but required a bit of buffing which I don’t mind one bit.

      I have a Damaskeen that I only use to remember my father’s birthday. (He was born in 1912). I find that it shaves well, but that I prefer the more noticeable blade feel from a MMOC.
