It's a bit late in the day but I hope you hade a wonderful Birthday @Flintstone65.
@Flintstone65 is kinda silent. Hoping it’s from too much cake and being unable to choose which GEM, Ever-Ready, Kampfe, or Star SE to use next.
No nicks, burning, or irritation. Blade is still going strong after 14 shaves
Looks like a nice one, should give you years of enjoyment. That is the razor IMO that took GEM MFG to new heights of prosperity for owners and employees for decades. Competition was fierce and good products helped them, later 1912 models had small improvements and also gave a reason for clients to buy a newer model.I finally found a Damaskeene OC at a reasonable price. It's been some time since @Ron R sent me back out into the cold, dark night to hunt one down.
