It is a pretty mild razor but a great introduction to the world of vintage SEs.I tried the Gem Feather Weight razor this evening with fresh blades from Connaught. I had a 6 day stubble, which probably was a mistake. It was very audible, the angle seem quite intuitive. Anyway as with most first shaves, I bottled it and finished off with a Type L and a Mach 3. I think 2 to 3 days growth would be the max until I know what I am doing. Anyway a better first shave than with the Core.
I have been a DE shaver since 1991, Injector since 2008, Shavette/Weck 2008, Straight 2009, AC 2011, Durham Duplex 2012.It is a pretty mild razor but a great introduction to the world of vintage SEs.
I'm sure you'll love your second shave with it.
The ER 1912 is my favourite razor, never fails to give me an effortless, irritation free close shave.I've never tried an SR nor a shavette but I tend to prefer SEs to DEs.
My favourite of the vintage ones is now the Streamline but the British 1912 is up there.
