Excellent shave, BBS two pass shave. No nicks or weepers.
Arrived today, loaded with a Schick pro blade. Had possibly the best shave in 2 weeks. Like shaving with a feather. Three pass and a little touch up on the left jaw line. No irritation or soreness. Brilliant!
3rd shave in a row with my Gem 1912 / Gem stainless (unsure if it's coated).
Very happy with the result this morning, despite my shave being a quick 2 passer without touchups to give my face a break. I'd love to see how long this blade will last. That's the goal.
