I recently received a GEM bullet tip as a PIF. I had the chance to shave with it last night and was floored by the quality of the shave. I immediately ordered 100 Gem PTFE blades for this razor.
It struck me that, since I've decided to take on this whole new world, and jumped in with both feel (or 100 PTFE coated 'feet'), I should probably have a second razor... That and the aquisition disorder is kicking in. Lol.
After reading a bit, it seems the Featherweight is a suitable option for an equally smooth, mild and efficient shave as the bullet tip.
As I struggle to find a fw in excellent condition online that won't break the bank, I thought I would ask the proverbial experts... Am I heading in the right direction? Is the Featherweight a good option? Also, since it's possible I can't find what I'm looking for, is there another SE using GEM blades that is an equal to my needs (I'm very much a low agression shaver)?
Thanks everyone. As always, your help is greatly appreciated. [emoji846]
