Despite disliking the Yaqi handle I thought I’d try it with the ATT G1 as it was all set up. It actually worked fairly well! The G1 was very different to the previous Gem I’d tried the Micromatic, ultra mild, barely any blade feel and very forgiving. It took me a while to dial in the angle which seemed much more shallow than most razors but once I did I got a DFS in 3 passes which I’ll count as a win on my first use! The head feels so gentle at times I wasn’t sure I was taking anything off, but the stubble was definitely there in the sink on the rinse and as I dialled it in that gentle audible sound of hair being removed was there. I actually really like the mild shave it gives, and it will be a great razor in my rotation after or before the likes of the Blackbird to counteract or prepare for a more aggressive shave or give my skin a break the next day. Another satisfied customer at the Emporium.
@Boycie83 I really should just run a monthly payment plan at this rate!
I tried the Proraso preshave for the first time too, I loved the light scent but strangely felt the lightest of tingly reaction or something which was unusual. Not enough to put me off, more of a gentle wake up call and my skin was fine with it but it was there.
Enjoy the rest of the day everyone!
