SOTD, I really enjoy this GEM junior Parade and I recommend this razor if you come across one, almost care free to use and with the tapered handle you can stand it up if wish while between lathering passes.

SOTD, Took out my Everready 1914 first generation blade stops SE razor and had a wonderful shave. Another great razor if you like audio feed and great results. I like audio feed back and this ER 1914 amplifies and then there are folks who do not like audio and find a little fault in clamping of the blade when they hear it. The razor works well even for over 100 year old design of Perfection.
