Hey Gents, Well on a daily basis I use DE razors ('56 Red Tip, '82 Black Handle and MTO) but about 10 months ago I acquired my Grandpa's GEM Pushbutton SE. I tried using it shortly after getting it with some CVS brand blades and at the time it didn't seem to give a real good shave....it was an "ok" shave, but I think I had high expectations for it. I ended up putting it aside for the time being (6 months). Just recently I decided to give it another shot with a new CVS blade. I used a different one of my soaps each day and I actually got pretty decent shaves each day. I don't go for BBS every day anymore, only once in a while because I can get away with 2 passes (WTG & XTG) and not look like a bum. I'm gunna stick with the GEM for a while so I can get a good feel for it, I also like the fact that I'm shave with the same razor my Grandpa once did!
