Byrce (The Possum) sent me a few Ted Pella blades so I could start my SE journey. The newly acquired Gem Junior is now loaded and tomorrow will be my maiden SE shave. Any last words of advice?
Thanks again Bryce. ;D

Yes, be sure to write down the words "DE razor" somewhere because once the Gem touches your face you will forget they ever existed!  Yea that.. Also on a serious note watch the angle. Let the head of the razor guide you on that. Enjoy enjoy enjoy.. Fuzzy |

Just be prepared for the shock of having your best shaving experience to date!! (And have the styptic nearby in case you shake in anticipation!)

Also on a serious note watch the angle. Let the head of the razor guide you on that. Serious note? dang ok I guess I can try and be helpful too. With exception to the valet autostrop I never noticed having to use a different angle between DE and SE but no a bad idea to keep it in mind. My tid-bit would be every once in a while I get a SE blade that kinda hurts the first time I use it. All I do is hand strop it like our own Dave shows how to do in his video and everything is right as rain  www.youtube.com/user/GemCutlery#p/u/3/Ogq4wfpT7hc also make sure the blade is evenly centered in the razor before you lock it into place |

Congrats on your first SE shave bullgoose ;D ;D ;D ...and my condolences on your newly acquired illness, SE RAD spreads fast and there is no known cure. I'm afraid your wallet is done for on the plus side you will leave this mortal plane with a smile on your BBS face  |
