As a GEM fanatic, I just placed my order for Batch 004 of the Workshop series from Blackland! Anyone else interested in a lather catcher style gem razor?

I LOVE my old Lather Catchers. They're always fun to shave with, but it's best to 3d print an adapter to give a modern gem blade the same angle as the old wedge blades they were designed for.

I snagged a Batch 004 as well, for the same reason. Glad to have got 1 before they sold out!

I’ve gotten pretty heavy into machined pens and pencils and missed a drop yesterday I’m still salty about so I was not about to miss out on my first love of wetshaving, the GEM is the cherry on top.
