Hi Billy,
This is my second day of using a Gem junior Bar , using a shim with a Gem S/S blade. Whilst the shave felt aggressive even tuggy, for me the finish was poor,despite taking longer to shave than usual.
I thought perhaps down to new blade, but the experience today was similar. Near the end of the Shave, I removed the shim and immediately the razor became milder,and I finished off my shave. Tomorrow will do the whole shave without the Shim,and see how it goes.
I guess it might be the case of what suits one, does not always work for others.Will let you know how it goes on SOTD.
Regards Mike
