    Shave #2, last night, was an improvement on shave #1. The G Bar is either a very mild shaver or I haven't got the shaving angle correct yet. I feel it's mostly the latter. I'm going to stick with this for a while. I would say that the G Bar handle is the best handle I've ever used. It's a fantastic fit in my hand; really great. Beautiful looking razor.

    It's milder than a 1912, 1914, or a 1924, but it's a good shaver,... stick with it for a while, till you find the sweet spot.

    It's a mild shaver, but I find it does a great job in two passes. Try changing the angle and see how that goes.
