As suggested, I took it easy with this new (to me) razor. Absolutely no problems. Came out with DFS++ shave and had so much fun along the way.
This razor is incredibly light. Maybe lighter than the Featherweight. Zero pressure is easy to achieve and maneuverability is great.
love the handle on that....
is that original????

I did a Daily Double with the Weck -- which made a brief one-pass WTG appearance -- and my Gem Jr Bar with small black handle (just like @GAW9576's Gem) for 2 passes and a solid DFS shave. I took a friends advice and played some relaxing music for this shave, which for the curious-minded was Miss Ella Fitzgerald's Paper Moon, Someone to Watch Over Me, and Blue Skies; along with In the Mood courtesy of Mr Glenn Miller, and an appearance from ol' Blue Eyes doing Fly Me to the Moon. I had the house to myself, so there was much swaying, dancing and even some singing while shaving....it was a fun and relaxed shave with no blood, no irritation or any issues at all.
I want to shout-out to everyone who's participated and posted so far, this has been a stellar GEMonday / Micromatic Monday. I had some things go sideways on me outside the shave cave, but a really good shave helps you whether the weirdness that life can throw at you!!!
