I had a fun shave with my 1900 Star today.
Hello Greg, you don't see many all brass regular Clog pruf razors, actually that is the first one I have seen( they are usually coated). Glade you enjoyed the Peerless model Clog Pruf, I also enjoy mine.
That’s the very same thing I was thinking when I saw the photo.
Now I need to get one too.
Oops. I spoke to soon. I just did a quick search on eBay and found a few all brass regular (12 teeth) Clog Prufs.
When I was learning and trying to set the aggression & efficentcy on the different models I made a quick reference and should get you in the ball park, the Gem G Bar was my first razor used and so the results might be off for some but for a greenhorn with Gem razors this where I thought it should be, now I could crank out better efficentcy out of the Gem G bar with a few years use & knowledge.Question, what’s the difference other than OC and SB between the MMOC, MMCP, and bullet tip? I believe I’m getting my acronyms correct. Have a great day y’all!
Thank you so much! That is super helpful!When I was learning and trying to set the aggression & efficentcy on the different models I made a quick reference and should get you in the ball park, the Gem G Bar was my first razor used and so the results might be off for some but for a greenhorn with Gem razors this where I thought it should be, now I could crank out better efficentcy out of the Gem G bar with a few years use & knowledge.
Gem controlled aggression & efficiency by different thickness and shape of top caps on a lot of their 1912 model and later different models. I measured blade gaps on a lot of models and found similar gaps.

Blade: GEM PTFE
Brush: 26mm Timberwolf
Bowl: Timeless

This was my first time using the MMOC. Very close and smooth shave. Went with the recommended shallow angle and was rewarded with a great shave. I may have made a tactical error trading for one of these while on sabbatical. I fear I may fall down another rabbit hole wanting to try more of these razors! I was thoroughly impressed with this razor today! Question, what’s the difference other than OC and SB between the MMOC, MMCP, and bullet tip? I believe I’m getting my acronyms correct.

Much appreciated! Thank you! I’m looking forward to using and learning how to use this razor better!@Flintstone65 has stated in the past that as long as it uses a Gem style blade and was made by one of the American Safety Razor family of brands Gem, Ever Ready, Star or Treet forgive me if I'm forgetting any, it is welcome hear every day of the week. So yes it is undoubtedly welcome here.
Much appreciated! Thank you! I’m looking forward to using and learning how to use this razor better!

Feather Weight punching above its class
For some reason I’ve been looking forward to this shave for a week but had a couple of new 1914s that distracted me. When you have a large rotation of razors, some like my Feather Weight, tend to get missed in the shadows.
Not only was I all hyped for my Feather Weight shave, but I was curious to see how it compared to the 1914s with the GEM Carbon blade. Even though it’s known as a mild shaver I took great care in keeping focused, and trying to shave with as little pressure as possible just to see how it would react.
Well “blow me down”. I was rinsing my face before the third pass, and I was already a total BBS. Even my neck!
Gentle + Carbon blade = 2 pass BBS ❤
Im also pretty sure that if I was only allowed to own one shaving soap...this would be the one!
