    I first used them when getting into Schick razors. For me, they seem smoother than Schick blades.

    Cold Water Wash
    Eureka Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #314
    Heljestrand Safety Razor
    Heljestrand Wedge
    CWR
    FD Old Spice AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Eureka Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #314 badger brush. I did two passes with the Heljestrand Safety Razor with a Heljestrand Wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with FD Old Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Just had my first shave with the GEM push button!
    I am amazed at how smoothly it works.
    Almost like there is no effort at all.
    Thanks to a kind member across the street, I have it to try out.
    I'll update this post when the video is done!

    Enjoyable shave with the MMOC. No nicks or weepers. Smooth shaving all around. I was concentrating on angle and pressure and it worked out for great results.

    The Occam’s V1 razor. Not the prettiest thing in the world and certainly not the ugliest either. But, one thing is for certain, it gives a very good and close shave regardless of blade used. The floating blade system takes a shave or two to get accustomed too but, once you do it’s a very capable tool in providing BBS results....

    Not yet Clint. I’m waiting on a gold anodized version as I received an email some time back from Luke Webster that they would have them available soon. But, if I don’t see something in the next couple of weeks, I’m jumping the gun and ordering one. ;)
