First shave with the Feather Weight. I was pleasantly surprised how close a shave I could achieve with this razor on the first try. I had a closer shave with the GEM Heavy Flat-Top (G-Bar) in the mustache area but I am pretty sure if I had added more pressure to the Feather Weight to balance out the weight differences between those two razors that it would have been a closer match up. This may become my first choice for breaking in new blades (a position that my Blackland Sabre L2 currently holds). I have a GEM Push Button on the way so that also may be a contender for that same slot.
