Take number 2 with my Gem., but still not able to achieve a close shave. The shave was better than attempt #1, but that wouldn’t take much. I’m sure I’ll get better the more I use it, but that will take time. I did make sure to ride the cap like crazy this shave, which is probably why it was better than the last. 3+ pass shave.
