Precision Load; Face Lather; WTG/ATG/Cleanup Passes; BBS Result; 48th Consec / 444th Overall SOTD; MRTNG's Ultra Nightmare Mode AA rules

This GEM blade continues to surprise me. For the last few shaves, the blade was starting to feel scrapy, but today the blade was as smooth as butter. The blade remains as efficient as it was during its first few shaves. Here's hoping that this GEM continues to shine for the remainder of AA.

Here's the Day 18 bristle break-in progress pictures taken just before the shave. Happy shaving and have a wonderful day.
