First time using this Gem in quite a few years. In fact, I totally forgot I owned it until recently finding it hidden away while organizing the other week. Cleaned it up last night and popped a blade in for the morning.
I was running behind this morning, so I rushed in order to look presentable for work. Even with rushing, there were no nicks, weepers, or really any irritation afterwards. I’ve really only used a Gem 1912 for the last 5 - 7 years, so having my technique with these razors down definitely allows me to rush more and not get irritation compared to using a DE. May stick with this razor for the rest of the week!
