Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Super Red
ATT SE G1, v2.
Gem S/S [ 3 ] + Shim
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Tuff Red A/S Lotion.
After Two not so good Shaves with the ATT SE G1, obviously too mild for my tough stubble, I had a chat with Stan at ATT. He was sympathetic to my situation, and verified my Razor as V2,and said there were no plans for further changes. He did suggest that a shim under the blade would alter the aggression.
Maybe not the ideal but worth a try. As I had a sleepless night I messed about with shim ideas,a !/2 spine shim and Injector blade, both required some metal removal. As a quick fix, I created a plastic shim[in photo] from the box containing 100 Personna/Gem blades, fitting that it worked.
With the Razor Shimmed and a dependable Lather from the Vitos, I started to shave with a bit of apprehension. I need not have worried as the Razor was as smooth as before, but had some bite and was efficient too. Am pleased to say without too much fuss or any mishap, the resultant Shave was smooth and stubble free in all areas, even the finish around the neck was pretty good.
Rather a Shame that to get this Razor to work for me, a shim is needed but I have had trouble with the Sabre V1 and Supply SE too. I know I have a peculiar type of growth, having had troubles in my Service days,when as a recruit I was made to have extra Shaves after morning parade. Always shaved twice a day in the early years of service, until I climbed the Ranks so that no one bothered me. Just pleased to be able to use the nicely engineered piece of kit, just a Shame it cannot do what a lot of Vintage SE Razors can do without assistance.

Hi Chris,Have you tried the Rocnel-GEM? That may be a good choice. I love the ATT SE-1 and the Sabre-SE v1.0. I also love the Rocnel-GEM, and find it more efficient compared with the ATT SE-1 and the Sabre.

Hi Chris,
As have tried Sabre and ATT SE Gi and do not find them superior in shaving ability to the Vintage SE, I am not keen to try the Rocnel just because it's more efficient than either of the other Two. By the way has anyone heard about what has happened to the Phoenix Accoutrements proposed Gem Razor ?
