Yes I'll definitely have a few more shaves with it and see how it goes. From what I've seen Personna blades seem popular with Gem users so I might try them at a later date if these Star aren't working for me.The ER 1912 razor fitted with the Gem blade is indeed a great razor, maybe that's why at one point I owned 16 of them!
The more you use it the more you will come to appreciate just how good it is.

Yes, I hear what you're saying.The GEM/ER razors are different beasts to DE/AC razors. What angle did you use? You want it much flatter to your face than other razors. Your experience sounds similar to mine. Grew to love it in the end though.
Maybe try a modern Gem SS PTFE blade?Yes, I hear what you're saying.
I managed to find a flatter angle fairly intuitivley but I've no doubt my technique requires more work.
ThanksMaybe try a modern Gem SS PTFE blade?

'A Japanese girly video! What's a video?'
A fantastic bit of sink activity with some piece of steel and some non-edible soap.
Warning warning (a bit premature here)
A superb smooth face to start the weekend and by tomorrow morning I'll be as rough as a beavers bottom. But hey ho
Have a most bodacious weekend you most wonderful people. And in case I haven't said it before, I love you all
