Yeah, it might be more that I’m not used to riding the cap quite so much.

I’m definitely looking forward to using it more – it gives a great shave!

For what it’s worth, I’ve tried riding the cap with all sorts of GEM razors and it’s not my cup of tea. Eventually you’ll discover what feels good.

I used to blame rough first shaves on the PTFE blades needing some coating to wear off, but now I know better - I was using too much pressure, being used to milder DEs.

Anyway, enjoy! They’re great razors.

I’m sure you’ll get the hang of it in no time. Don’t forget that it also took you a moment to get good shave with DEs. Remember the basics (well hydrated lather, no pressure) and the rest will follow automatically
