It doesn’t shave as close and indeed you can nick your skin if the angle is too vertical. But in my experience, it’s really easy to use and get right from the start.
Apologies, that site isn’t very well optimized for browsers with dark mode - didn’t see those were out of stock. FWIW, I got myself a 100-pack once I got my first GEM razor and it’s still not empty. These are really sturdy and hold up for a long time… the downside is that there’s not much variety in blades, but the blade quality makes up for it.

I’m a face shaver but just want to say these are my favorite razors. You’re in for a treat.
On my face at least, I’ve found these razors to be very forgiving. I’ve only ever cut myself on these razors out of personal stupidity. While riding the cap is the correct way to go, I do occasionally ride the bar and it’s fine.
