I have been using the G bar as my first gem for a few weeks now and bought this Brass Gem Junior 1912 for $5 last Saturday. Just gave this thing a shot and I have to say there may be razors as good, but I highly doubt any can get you this smooth that easily. Compared to this, the G Bar is like a sports car with the turbo not running at full boost, and the g bar is a great great razor. It even got the annoying spots on my neck..... Mega razor....
