Item Description
Although I'm relatively new to the new to the world of DE shaving, it's not difficult to tell the difference between a good shave and a great shave, especially when price is involved.
And if you're looking for a razor that performs well and has looks to boot, then Gem G Bar is worth the few dollars you'll spend on one in fantastic condition, compared to the curiously high prices some vintage razors have been demanding lately, such as The Gillette Fat Boy. You'll need some slick looking blades to go with your slick looking razor and Ted Pella sells Single Edge, PTFE-Coated Stainless Steel Blades (box of 200) for $33.

By far the Gem G Bar has given me my closest and most comfortable shave yet.. compared to the various DE's (Merkur Vision to Gillette Techs) and Schick Injectors.
It didn't take very long to adjust to the dangerous looking blade angle, and I found it quite easy to maneuver through those tough areas under the jaw, nose and tricky areas on the neck. When you hold it, you notice how well balanced it as, with just the right amount of weight. It feels like a Real Razor.
Since I'm not brave enough to wield a straight (yet), the Gem G Bar is the next best thing.
All and all I can't find a single flaw on this razor and am very happy to have made it a permanent spot in my rotation.
