I am planning on using my Featherweight tomorrow. This one, I think, has the Gen 2 head.
Looks like a nice one, Hope you enjoy it like I enjoy mine. Seems strange or funny that modern razors have all the latest greatest machining know how and not many I know stand by them selves. They want $15 or more for a little stand, you could buy a Gem Junior 1912 with baton handle Parade for less now a days. I think they had it right many decades (60 + yrs)ago.It's a touch early for the rapidly approaching Micromatic Monday / GEMonday announcement, but a good friend recently threw me a Parade....a Gem Junior Parade. Thank you, @GAW9576!!!! The last time we all gathered for a Parade shave, he noticed that I did not have a Parade with a Baton Handle, and he very thoughtfully and generously rectified that. So this beauty will definitely be making it's inaugural shave tomorrow.
How about you all? Will you be joining in tomorrow, what razor(s) will you bring? Remember that all ASR razors using a Gem-style blade are welcome!!!

Platinum, Now that is a rarity. Platinum is usually priced higher per once than gold but usually no were near the price of Rhodium- is the most priciest metal in the world. Platinum is a harder metal than gold and should wear well for you. You must really enjoy that razor to get it re-coated, nothing wrong with a favorite.View attachment 1113485
Razor: GEM 1912, replated in platinum; this might be the only platinum 1912 here - please correct me if I am wrong.
Blade: GEM SS PFTE by Personna
Brush: Fendrihan 25mm Tuxedo. It is one of my favorite synthetic brushes and might be one of the best bargains in wet shaving for under $15. Super soft tips with nice backbone; its two-tone acrylic handle is attractive, heavy and comfortable.
Soap/Cream: Musgo Real
Aftershave: Tabac Original Balm.
Thanks! The price of platinum was the same as gold and I bought it plated for less $ than the plating + shipping would cost. I really like platinum. It should last a long time, it is bright, but at the same time warm. I also have a MMOC replated in 24K gold, it’s a looker. These GEM razors are so good, they deserve the extra treatment.Platinum, Now that is a rarity.
