Let’s face it, I get to shave with some pretty great stuff. The danger is: Its pretty easy to comfortably settle in with some wonderful combination that works really, really, well…and never touch anything different again; after all, when you’re getting consistent 9.8-9.9 shaves, why bother switching? So, every once in a while, its important to shake oneself out of pleasant complacency and “get out there” once again trying old and new product combinations and techniques. Starting tomorrow, I’m shelving the absolutely glorious GEM G-Bar and the Gold Dachs soap, and moving on. Let’s see what the future holds.
Shave shake-up

Ah, I’ve been waiting to ask you a question on single-edge razors, and this is as good a prompt as any. My brother picked up one of these beautiful razors for me at a flea market:

I’ve never used a single-edge razor before; which blade should I use? Do all single-edge razor blades fit in all the razors? You seem partial to GEM blades, but I didn’t know if they only fit in the G-Bar. Thanks!
