Today I shaved with my newly acquired Gem MMOC. It's a TTO and I used a Gem blade.

Soap was another sample from my pal, Pat.

Check out the ingredient list:

Lot's of fatty-goodness and a very slick soap. The scent is supposed to remind one of an old library, but all I got was a heavy dose of patchouli.
Lather results were nothing short of spectacular.

Three pass shave with excellent results. The tag that came with the razor states:

I completely disagree. I tried that and got ZERO blade contact. I will acknowledge, that perhaps when paired with the original Gem Wedge blades, the shaver would get good results riding the cap.
Not with today's Gems.
Loved the shave and my stank today is a perfect summer juice, Paco Rabanne Invictus Aqua.
