All it took today was 2+ passes to achieve a top notch, close and comfortable shave. I am generally a believer that other thing being equal, the
right soap can make all the difference. But, backing off from that a bit, today's razor, a Gem Junior with its partner, a Gem PTFE SS blade, was
a superb complement to the great soap. Have really been concentrating on taking shorter, quick blade strokes and it seems to be paying off!
