Greetings,
At the age of 62 I have at last lost my Single Edge virginity and I have to say that it was a pleasant bloodless painless and comfortable experience!
Enough of that infantile smut; this morning I shaved with the push button GEM that I purchased from Steve (Sunbury boy) off this forum loaded with a modern GEM blade kindly given to me by Andrew (AJC 347)
I was hugely surprised how easy it was to shave with and how smooth and forgiving. I started off very very carefully but soon shaved with complete ease. It gave me a BBS shave without a single nick; there was no sensation of scraping at all and most importantly (for me at least) my face afterwards, felt comfortable.
I believe that a 'perfect' shave in terms of smoothness is relatively easy to achieve with a large variety of different razors and blades, for me the tricky part is achieving this without any soreness/tenderness and I still firmly believe that I do not have sensitive skin it will just not stand any 'scraping'
AJC 347 has, with huge generosity lent me four more different SE razors to try, a GEM OCMM, two Ever Ready's (English and American) and a PAL Injector adjustable I am really looking forward to trying them all.
Regards
Dick
