What soap/cream did you use today?

I have to agree with Bouki... The first pass is often very grabby for me with a GEM.
(I think I've only used a Personna.)

The razor glides nicely over the skin, provided I keep my angle very shallow. So in that sense it's comfortable. The Gem blades I'm using are another matter. They feel stiff and bulky, and as I mentioned yesterday, they're loud. I'm not getting a smooth slice through the hair, at least not on the first pass. It's all pretty rocky. But the second pass is nicer, and the final pass against the grain is easy. Still, I wish that first pass wasn't so rough. Got any tips for me?

What blade are you using?

Lipripper660: The vendor who sold me the razor also included two loose Gem blades. One side is stamped "GEM." The other is stamped "STAINLESS." There's no other marking. I assumed these were the Gem Super Stainless blades made by Personna. Is that what you're using in your bullet tipped Flying Wing?
