My second use of the 1912.
I don't think it's really my cup of tea. Nowhere near as smooth as a DE for me, despite using a pre shave. It seems to shave just a little too close for my skin to appreciate.
Did you use a shim? It's worth a try, it may change the way it feels..... It may not. P.
If you search the forums for ‘The Fergiebilly Shim', that details one way of achieving it.
It's a skin grafter if pressure is too great ... really really light! That, and a fresh GEM blade can be pathologically sharp from the off. I often palm strop a fresh blade just to cut the seething edge off. By the third shave it's starting to mellow ... by 7 it'll be bob-on.
Good description Paul !
I'm hoping the blades will dull some, it would make the experience more enjoyable, with a shim
