[srqshaver]

I had a god-awful first shave with a GEM today. I used my newly acquired Featherweight and a new Ted Pella PTFE blade. It seemed like things might go well starting on the WTG cheek portion but it all went crashing downhill after that. I wasn’t quite finding the angle, particularly under my chin and top of the neck. Just a bloodbath. I wasn’t feeling it when I cut myself so by time I realized it…too late. I still did three passes because I’m a savage. I literally winced when I rubbed the alum stick around. The best part of this shave is that it’s over and I can laugh at myself for being such an overconfident ass and not taking my time. I will heal and try the Featherweight another day. Perhaps the blade will be a little smoother and the person holding the razor will a little smarter. To better shaves!
