Hmmm!
A wonderful slick lather from the Proraso and Faux Horsey Yaqi,
I decided to give the GEM Carbon blade another try, this time in the Ally handled 1951 Ever Ready, which is a wonderful shaver.
I don't really get it, this Blade just does nothing for me, it felt quite rough throughout the shave, although, it was not uncomfortable.
I completed 3 full passes and still only managed a DFS finish, therefore it has been banished to the blade bank and i do not think i will try them again.
The shave was saved by a nice post shave routine and the satisfaction of binning the blade.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
