Tubes of Tabac creme and aftershave balm standing next to an E-bar leaning on the handle of an ESC Medium Jock handle in front of a decorated bathroom wall.
Razor: Ever-Ready Natural Angle (E-Bar)
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock
Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original Cream
Post shave: Mäurer & Wirtz Tabac Original aftershave balm
First of a few travel shaves in merry old England, and I brought my made in England E-bar for the occasion. I’m not sure the brush is made here, but at least its branding is from Scotland.
Oh, really? Mine’s definitely not inefficient. I prefer Micromatics because they have the coolest mechanism in shaving technology, but I don’t see any fault in how the E-bar shaves.
I think my Flying Wings might be milder, and I like those, too.
I can’t get excited about the E-bar because it’s a bit boring, though.
Thanks! I’d take you up on it if it wasn’t for the fact that for a bit more than the price of transatlantic shipping I can buy myself one. I don’t feel too compelled to buy a new razor right now, but when the urge strikes it’s good to know what I can look at.

Happy Tabac Tuesday, everyone!
What do you think of the E bar? For me it’s the worst of the GEMs I’ve tried. Way too mild and pretty inefficient

I’m not sure I ever tried the e-bar.
Would you like to?
At some point. I should probably just buy one for my collection…
Fair warning: it is remarkably unremarkable. That being said, I bought one for the exact same reason :D
I’m happy to lend you mine if you want to try, just don’t expect anything mindblowing.
