  • Brush: Rad Dinosaur Creations "Nebulagance" - TurnNShave Quartermoon 26mm synthetic
  • Razor: GEM - MMOC (first gen, 1930-1932)
  • Blade: Personna - GEM PTFE (3)
  • Lather: Stirling - Oro Valley
  • Post Shave: Stirling - Oro Valley Aftershave splash
  • Post Shave: Ginger's Garden - Unscented Aftershave balm (+ menthol)
  • Fragrance: Barrister and Mann - Fougère Aromatique EdT

First shave with my new-to-me MMOC went pretty well. It certainly feels more aggressive than my other GEM, a first-gen Clog-Pruf.

I was slightly sloppy around my chin and got a couple of weepers. I think I just need to slow down a bit more and focus on my angle.

Good results overall though. It's an impressive little razor.
