Any reputable site I can purchase the p-30’s?That's my favorite with the SB baseplate.

Same.I got mine from Italian Barber.
I'm enjoying this thread but I was curious if you had a relative ranking yet of the razors.
@dabrock I just used a MMOC for the first time today. If used correctly it is actually “mild” in feel with a ridiculous amount of efficiency. I think it is as smooth as my Flying Wing and Featherweight. I just wanted to let you know as a new MMOC Guy, that you can still keep it on your list if you want.Thanks! I've just gotten back to SE after exclusively using DEs (with and without a beard) for a few years. I'm really enjoying them again and really like the Hawk v3 Standard along with the ECO. As for the older GEMs I'm happy to stick with the Featherweight for now, but I might move up to the GEM 1912 again, but I don't think I'll be moving the the MMOC again since I prefer milder razors these days.
I would love to try the Vector someday but not sure I can justify the price since it seems just a bit better than the Hawk.
Looking forward to following more of your posts.

I seem to recall that there were a number of people that found PTFE to be irritating when fresh.
Yes! That’s why some of the folks, like @woodfluter , recommended palm stropping before the first use. Removing the micro burr without using the face.

Ha, good timing to see this thread on new. I just came by to thank @Blackland Razors for making the Sabre because I just tried the L1 for the first time with a fresh blade and it was the first time I had enjoyable shave on a fresh Gem blade, Featherweight didn't quite do it for me. Speaking of which, the Sabre is anything but feather-weight. I guess maybe a particularly impressive ostrich feather? At any rate, thanks Shane, I really enjoy the MMOC and now I can use it more often because this is a great way to get the blades ready.
Thing is, this was also the first time I palmed stropped a Gem blade as I'd not run into that advice until a few months back (not sure how, seems like it's widely known ...and months because Gem blades last forever and my straights beckon). So more experimentation is in order, I guess @never-stop-learning is apt for this hobby, always more experiments.
