First time out with Tarmax SE, 7 setting. As expected the required angle felt awkward on my head. Certainly smooth but tricky to catch the stubble on the noggin top. Finished with a MMOC. It took me a couple shaves with the injector version to get used to the angle, i expect same here. No operational issues here at all. Sent from my LG-US998 using Tapatalk
I had an awesome shave with this Gem Featherweight that my kids got me for my birthday. The top cap was slightly pitted which gave me an excuse to sand it down to bare brass. This horse hair brush sheds A LOT. I ended up switching to a synthetic half way through the shave.

I had a very nice two-pass shave with a GEM Featherweight and a third-use stainless PTFE blade. I haven't used the old favorite Proraso Red for a while and I finished it off with some Clubman Vanilla for a near-BBS result.
Wed 24th November RR Syn 22mm P & B Citra Royale Claymore Evolution Kai Pink ( 3 ) Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Extremely smooth, in fact so smooth that tended to rush a bit without checking the finish in one area before moving on to the next. However, the overall quality of finish still rather good.
