Thank you Robert! Yes, that´s the risk, for me, I´ve to be a little more light handed with my wedges or I my throat´ll feel a little raw.

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Simpson, Polo 8
Razor: Puma in lovely custom horn scales w MOP inlays by Neil Miller
Soap: Cade
AS: Aqua Vera, vintage
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: VVC - very, very clean/close

Location: Coffs Harbour Australia
Brush: FS Finest Badger
Soap: Tabac
Razor: My Pa's GEM with GEM Blade
Astringent: Thayer's Witch Hazel
Balm: C.O. Bigelow Mentha

I finally got my hands on some quality SE blades thanks to a couple of members here (Phatman & Sunbird) and for the first time got a decent shave from the GEM.
I thought a lot about Mark (Blugil) during this shave and to quote his last post here on SOTD,

I was really impressed with these blades, even better than I expected. The GEM, the Tabac, all performed superbly for a fantastic CBS.

Thanks for all the great posts and pics boys

Grant, I have a 1912 Gem razor that was my grandfathers. Still in the original box. Haven't had the courage to try it yet, but seeing yours gives me a little bump. I will have to polish the old girl up and give it a shot.
