November 10th, 2025: Jewel
$discord
Inspired by @snooting@wetshav.ing 's use of a Streamline, I decided it was high time to whip mine out.
Most people love this razor for it's looks, build quality, and prestige -- but often say the shave it gives is "not the best". I'm one of the few who love the way it shaves. It's on the mild end of GEM style razors, but efficiency is still great.
Might as well plug this wiki entry that I copied over from Reddit for posterity: https://wiki.wetshav.ing/Curated_Articles/Streamline
Yeah, I have always liked the looks of these razors. I don't have one though. Need to remedy that.
I can send mine with the straights if you want to try one first (assuming you haven't). Maybe that'll kick me into gear to get those razors out the door.
Works for me! I have admired these razors from afar but have never tried one.
Sounds good
Nice! First or second gen?
2nd. Technically a Jewel because of the case it's in.
