Month or two ago I got a nice MMOC. It is my first GEM razor. Loaded it with GEM coated blade and prepared to shave. I heard a lot how nice this razor and what a good shaves you can get.
Starting to shave and stoped. Feels very harsh on the face. Tried again, same feeling. Put it aside and google for more information. People suggest palm stropping. Did't help.
After a week give another try, same results. Put it aside again.
I wet shaving for about seven years and think that I know everything. Prep, good leather, light touch and I have very good results with my DE and AC razors.
After two weeks I tried again. I think may be my light touch isn't so light. I hold the razor so light I afraid it will fall from my hand. Short strokes and WOW what a shave.
Very close, may be closest in my life. No irritation, very smooth - perfect BBS.
The moral of this story - never give up.
