2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.
Like the Gillette NEW short comb, the Flying Wing is another example of a design that never needed changing. The mechanism that opens and closes the cap, and that clamps the blade is a thing of beauty.

Speaking of designs that didn't need changing, I'm doing a run through the 14 generations of GEMs over the next 14 days, starting tomorrow, and will compare and contrast their designs. You're more than welcome to join, tomorrow is the 1912/Cadet/Junior/Damaskeene's turn
I've just run through all of the GEMs I have (3) except for the Damaskeene. I can join you with that one.
Perfect! I'm missing a Damaskeene in my DEM (GEN? It's difficult to make a GEM + den portmanteau.).
