Gently bowl lathered in my lovely Steve Woodgead bowl, as my NF.seems to be shedding over 10 hairs per shave even when face lathering with my usual paint stroke technique. I'm getting plenty of mileage out of this blade.

First shave with the OCMM this morning. I was expecting it to be some kind of blood thirsty lunatic judging by some of the write-ups it gets. What I found is that it gave a lovely BBS shave with not much effort and no blood loss. Yes it's aggressive, but no more than a Streamline and certainly less aggressive than an R41

Great shave!
 
Greetings

Friday 14th December 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Blade: GEM Stainless Coated
Brush: Vulfix 406 Boar
Soap: Speick grated into a container

A super close shave but a good bit of touching up on the neck required.

Regards
Dick.
