What other blades have you tried? I recently picked up my Supply v2 and love it so far but have only used the blades that shipped with it. Ive heard great things about the Schick blades.

I've used mostly vintage Plus Platinum, also a range of trimmed Artist Club blades. I find the v1 too mild for my taste.

Does it count if I only used one side of my DE razor this morning?

To be vintage it must be older than me!
The last razor I bought was the next to last razor I will ever buy!

Since I'm still in my 30 day trial for the OneBlade Core V2 I'm in, though I've been really trying some different things with my final pass and cleanup.

Alright gentlemen. Just had my first shave ever with any style of GEM, received in a purchase from wyze0ne . I can see what the fuss is about. Funny thing is, it was a G-bar which is considered by many to be mild. And mild it is. Yet, it shaved me beautifully and it was extremely comfortable yet efficient. Now, I have a Colonial General and a Razorock hawk and I do love the shaves from those, but for some reason, I do not find them to be as smooth and comfortable as that G-bar. Are there any other GEM razors that shave like that G-bar or similar that I need to pick up? I believe Jeff said the Featherweight and Push-button are nice? They are so incredibly affordable that I feel like I ought to buy a couple more.

Look for either the Clog Pruf or Flying Wing MicroMatic razors from GEM.

That's so awesome to hear that the G-bar worked out well for you! I believe that the Featherweight and Pushbutton have the same head as the G-bar so those would be very similar, just in a lighter weight package. I personally love my Pushbutton. It always give me a smooth, effortless shave. And like Brian mentioned, the Micromatic Flying Wing (aka Bullet Tip) provides the same mild but efficient shave in a TTO design.

1912, 1914, 1924. My favorite is the 1914, but they're all great shavers!

1912 is a must pick. And Sabre if you really dig GEM razors
