GemsOfWisdom

I’ve switched back over to being a morning shaver and I prefer it much more to the evening shave. I feel like I have more time to get work done around the house in the evenings, even though shaving takes 20 minutes.

I’ve gotten to the point where there’s not much to say about this brush anymore. I’d say it’s broken in and any improvements made will be negligible. The past couple of days I’ve loaded lighter. I’m getting a serviceable lather, but not quite as good as when I was loading heavy.

This Gem blade is still in its prime. Much more enjoyable than the first handful of shaves. My gem of wisdom today would be: if you’re using a gem for the first time, don’t make your final judgment until you’ve gotten at Lear 5-10 shaves on a blade.
