Today I wanted to see what type of lather the Electric Sheep would yield if bowl lathered. After loading the 25mm MS Synthetic brush for about 15 seconds the photo below is what I came up with.

I had enough lather after 3 passes I think someone else could have done a 3 pass shave also. Someone across the street over at TSD said this was typical of mutton tallow soap. If that is true I'm going to have look into the other mutton soaps. The only negative about this soap is the scent and I am getting used to that. Feeling up my face while I type this I find my face to be softer than with some of my other soaps. IMHO.
I recently had our resident GEM Doctor take a look at this razor for me. The diagnosis was that any issues I previously had with the razor was operator error. As this is SE September I am use this GEM till I find it's sweet spot or it skins me alive. This was also shave number 4 on the Treet blade. After 3 passes I am very smooth with some slight irritation on my lower neck just below my adams apple. The Thayers After Shave helped with the irritation though.
All in all I finished with a DFS.
