I hope you enjoyed the audio feed back as you shaved and it sang its song chopping those whiskers. Its the most audible of all my safety razors I enjoy when listening to razors indicating slicing beard growth. Some folks would say that is a blade not clamped properly but regardless it works like a charm and I have lots of good clamping razors that do not shave as good.

sure did enjoy the music. blade secured very well. I believe it is the way the frames resonate with a stout blade......more than any claim to loose blade. all of my GEMs are pretty secure......or I would be hesitant to shave with them.

I have bad hearing with permanent ringing.......the 1907 gem bar and star #4 sound louder to me.......but then again.....hearing impaired.

either way the music singing is good!!!!!
