    Very nice Tim! Hopefully you can work the pressure/angle to extend your GEM blade life.

    Thanks, Blair. I think I may already have! Today I will hit shave 6 on a SS blade, and I typically haven't been able to get past 4 with the MMOC. The 30DC is really helping clean up my sloppy technique :D

    I would say 6 shaves would be my max on a GEM blade. Probably more like 4 or 5. The MMOC is a beast of a razor. Light, light touch and keep the cap basically against your face. I need to use mine soon.

    Good morning

    Wonderful shave to start the day! Three passes for near BBS. Light tickle from the alum and no blood letting.

    Late report this morning. Today's software arrived yesterday, pulled from the mailbox after sunset. I wanted to wait for better light for my picture.

    The scent off the puck and when lathered is very subtle to my nose. The aftershave kicks it up to the usual PAA level. Lovely, lovely scent. I'm happily enabled.

    Have a great day!

    Two passes for a close comfortable and irritation free shave this morning. The larger Mistura brush is breaking in nicely. The partial puck of Electric Sheep I started working through for No Variation November will not last the month.

    Enjoy your day.

    Thanks for the input. I was starting to get that feeling that I might be pushing the blade's longevity a bit yesterday, but couldn't quite tell because I was rushing things. That light touch has helped immensely with the MMOC (I'm still a naturally heavy-handed shaver, and I have to fight that battle one day at a time).

    Nice but I don't own a museum.
    It would be nice to have some good pictures of them though.
