Left the conditioner on while bowl lathering and did a minimal rinsing, leaving a layer of it before applying the larger.
Full 3 pass. The GEM was easy to use and not as aggressive as I was lead to believe so I went a little chase-ish. It's not an exceptionally close shave, so I might try a slight bit of pressure or a different angle next time. Also, it might just be the patina on top of the razor, but it doesn't glide as easy as my other ones.
Globally a DFS with a bit of irritation. Good enough but I'm not impressed for now. Plunder is a wonderful scent. Instant classic.
