G Bar is for me the most unwieldy GEM. Try the micromatics.I have a GEM G-Bar. Never got the hang of it. Maybe I’ll give it another run.

I'm dating myself, but I remember when the Techmatic first came out. It was Gillette's first cartridge razor. I bought one and had not so good results, but I'm thinking maybe it was partially due to poor techniques on my part. My shaving techniques have improved greatly since 1967.
It looks nice the way it is. I polished mine. Flip a coin.Should I keep the Patina?
Thanks for sharing this. I have two Schick Type Bs and this looks like a Type B or C.Listed as a SCHLICK Razor on the Bay - didn't attract the usual Injector attention. Coming my way soon.
Should I keep the Patina? I kind of like it. I'm sure some of it will come off with a Dawn Spray and light scrub to clean it up.

Errrrr, that looks Schlick with the petina, or is it petunia? [Hi Choonia ]Should I keep the Patina?
Wow that’s a great find! Can you use any modern blades in it?I took a ride out this afternoon to my favorite local antique shop and check on the owner as he is not doing well health wise. When I was done checking in with him he said he had some razors in for me. When I saw this Gem Junior lather catcher my eyes lit up and I came home with it. It's in a lot better shape than my other gem Junior. And this one cost me quite a bit less. It's interesting it's got the strop attachment.

Yes, the bar is for older wedge blades.Wow that’s a great find! Can you use any modern blades in it?
Ooooo thats nice you'll enjoy shaving with that. Much easier than the open comb imhoToday I received a new to me GEM Micromatic Clog Pruf in very good condition. Some minor plate loss.
Very cool. What kind of blades does it take? Looks like GEM or some proprietary blade.Another Empire Set. Should clean up nicely.
$10.50 and Shipping it was a steal.
And some Wilkie Super Sword Edge Vintage DE Blades thrown in.
