A GEM Contour leaning against a Wilkinson tub filled with Stirling Glastonbury soap next to a Zenith B21 boar brush and a bottle of Stirling Vetiver witch hazel toner
Prep: Klar Activated charcoal facial soap
Razor: GEM Contour
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
Brush: Zenith B21 (XL chrome-plated copper handle, 28 mm knot with 50 mm loft)
Lather: Stirling Glastonbury
Aftershave: Stirling Vetiver witch hazel and aloe
The very genereous @[email protected] lent me his GEM Contour (the swan song of the GEM saga) and gifted me this tub of Glastobury. I enjoy the dank scent, and love the sheep base.
The razor needs some getting used to. It’s a much milder razor than the other GEMs I’ve tried (which is all of them, broadly speaking) and I sometimes struggled finding the right angle. More testing is clearly required.
Something borrowed and something gifted
