Well, not including several years of Schick injector shaves.
I bought a couple of lots of junk razors in order to get a couple of razors I needed for parts. In with the junk was a Gem Featherweight, G-Bar and a Micromatic. I also got a sample of 4 Gem PTFE blades.
I loaded up the Featherweight, whipped up some Shannon's Indigo Oud. The first pass was relatively smooth, but by the 2nd pass it was scritchy and tuggy.I got a BBS shave after switching over to an Old Type with a 5x GSB. I have samples of other blades, including a couple of carbon blades, so I'll try again later.
So far, I'm not impressed.
Which Gem models are the favorites?
