My package from Mark arrived today; thanks again Mark.
A lovely GEM junior with blade affixed.
The shave was okay, I felt a lot more tactile feedback and heard a lot more noise of bristle being mowed than I do with a DE.
I did two passes and was left with a reasonable shave. Not quite as close as a DE shave but then again this is the first successful shave for me with an SE.
I felt a lot more tugging on the neck than i do with a DE blade. Not sure why.
I am in no way converted, so settle down boys.
It was however a good experience and I intend to keep going with it and see how it improves.
