This morning I learned a couple of things. First, this cream lathers way better with a badger brush versus the synthetic I usually pair with it. Who knew? Second, the ATT G1. With a bit of extra effort I came off with a decent shave, but now I know why it has a reputation for being too mild. If you treat this razor like any other Gem and put the cap to your skin it's not going to cut well. I discovered towards the end of my shave that the angle must be more like an unmentionable. Since tomorrow is Gem Monday I will pick this up again on Tuesday.
