I shaved this morning with a Gem Heavy Flat Top, or G-bar, razor that in the past has given me poor shaves. I have two G-bars, but for whatever reason, the first one I purchased always gave me irritation while the second replacement G-bar gave me good shaves. I attributed it to an imperfection on the edge of the top lid. However, common sense told me that should have nothing to do with the shaves as I don't press the cover against my face.
Still, I wondered. So this morning I shaved with the crinkled-edged G-bar using a fairly steep angle and got a stellar shave. This runs counter to everything I've read here, which advocates an angle that keeps the head fairly close to the face--a shallow angle.
Does anyone find a steeper angle works better for them when shaving with a SE?
