    I can’t help but follow along with @djundjila@sub.wetshaving.social 's GEM calendar the past couple of days. The Streamline (mine is a Jewel) is pure luxury as far as I’m concerned. The build quality, especially the quality of the chrome plating, is superb.

    u/120inna55 made a reddit post a while ago regarding the different variations of this razor. I copied his work into a wiki format and added his wonderful pictures in line so you don’t have to click away to imgur to look at them. It’s worth it just for the pictures. https://wiki.wetshaving.social/Curated_Articles/Streamline

    This handle/knot combo is new to me. I used to have a 24mm Maggard 2-Band Badger knot in this handle, but after auditioning this knot for use in another handle I decided that I love this knot, but not enough for the other handle. I lofted it pretty much as high as it’ll go, so it has pretty low backbone. Now I have a 24mm (bulb, meh), 26mm (this one), 28mm, and a 30mm SHD in my brush collection. This 26mm might be my favorite. My second favorite is the 30mm, but this one has a bit more texture to it while still be soft and comfy.
