Continued getting used to the Weldon Two in One, it's delivering an excellent shave. I tried a shim today, & boy howdy did that give it some extra efficiency! It took an extra layer off, but did so very smoothly!

SOTD, Feb 14th,2020- Still enjoying my Oneblade and still having some fun with it, today I experimented with a shim(.005 thousands of a inch thickness taped to the modified gem blade) it's a bit crude but effective. You can not get a closer shave with out potato peeling the skin. (excellent shave). The closer the shave the greater the chances of possible irritation as a rule of thumb IMO. I did notice a increase in blade feel because of larger blade gap with slight aggression & efficiency increase but nothing serious to worry about. But I enjoy just the regular shave with no adjustment to blade just as much. All my razors go through a gauntlet of testing & if I like the results it stays in rotation-(2 pass,3 pass,shim if possible,buffing,J-hooking & Gillette slide before or Oneblade slide .)

Razor : One blade Core 2nd version- MFG 2018>
Blade : Gem SS PTFE modified (8) with a .005 tapped shim piggy backed on lower half.
Soap : Razorock "What the Puck" orange citrus bergamot scent.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm.
Pre-shave: Brush wash the face with CeraVe hand bar soap + A dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave: Razorock blue barber with witch hazel + Nivea Men balm.
Results: 10/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers =

Have some great shaves!

Good shave but the Derby Premium razor feels rough no matter what angle I use on the GC.84. So it's out.
Still going to try it on my Mamba.70 and GC.68 to see if it behaves differently.
