Hi all. I've been wet shaving about a year and using a DE about 3 months. I just acquired a GEM Featherweight and became aware of this group through The Shave Den. Hope I can learn to use this SE better by knowledge gained here. I haven't used it yet but want to start soon.

Helloooooo Florida!!! Welcome! There are definately folks here who can answer most of your questions regarding Single Edge shaving. They can be great shavers. I personally have not tried a Featherweight at this point - I have two, but they are NOS in their cases and I am trying to resist!! I have yet to pick up a user grade to check out. But soon!! Perhaps I can learn by reading about your experience and by seeing what others have to say!! I started out my first SE shave with a GEM 1912 and absolutely loved it!!! I loved the look, I loved the blades, I loved the sound the razor made - and best of all - it was my first truly effortless and fully satisfying shave. And I had tried out quite a stack of DEs by that time!! Also, I had actually used a Tech Fattie for a few years before I started looking around. But, the SE was great for me. So, if I can be any help I will try. But, help will abound when the others jump on board!! There are some excellent people working on this site and they occasionally can have a sense of humor! I am looking forward ro hearing of your experience with the FeatherWeight!!

Welcome to TOS stevemack ;D ;D ;D If you have have any questions about SE or wetshaving in general feel free to ask. Since it is your first SE make sure you get some Gem personna's blades from wallgreens or buy from ted pella to ensure a smooth shave. Also since your in the area try out "florida water" after shave I haven't used it personally but own rocketman raves about nonstop
