Ouch! Serious case of razor burn, maybe a bit of over reaction there. Not had razor burn like this for a long time, 30 minutes after shaving it has now subsided. I am not sure what the culprit was, maybe the GEM blade was past it's best, maybe it was my technique with the G bar, or maybe the soap. This is the first time I have used this razor and the soap, the final result was a very close shave. Next shave with this razor will be with a new blade and a soap or cream I know.
