I found a nice looking featherweight in the case and was excited to try it. I have a number of GEM and EverReady razors that I have enjoyed and executed excellent shaves with. Something about this one just escapes me. Cheeks and neck areas are acceptable and I think I need to improve on reducing pressure there. Chin and lip are another story. I have created a half dozen nicks and scratches and have decided to give up for a while. I am not sure I like the lightness in combination with the handle shape. I think I am trying to maneuver the razor rather than make a smooth pass and let it do the work. All of the other SE razors that I won have been pretty much pick them up and use them. I think this is my first real disappointment in 3 years of shaving. Hoping to prevail after a break. Maybe someone in this forum has some hints.
