Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 24th Consecutive / 298th Overall SOTD Post

The GEM blade was extremely inefficient today, but a significant number of cleanup strokes salvaged a BBS. If this was a DE, I'd have given myself a severe case of razor burn, but surprisingly I escaped irritation-free. I really want to see how far I can push this blade, but I'm about to start a week-long vacation (to visit my wife's hometown). To be safe I plan on using a new GEM blade on vacation, but I plan on revisiting this blade once I return home. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
