Schick L Type Injector/Schick(9)
For some reason I cannot get a good shave out of my GBar, I have tried it with GEM SS PTFE and Treet carbons both and just cannot seem to get it to run on my face. I get great shaves from all of my other Gems just not the Gbar
I find it one of the milder Gem razors, Gem changed the top caps on 3 razor types back in 1952 and they are milder because fellow shavers wanted milder razors I'm thinking. The Gem Feather 1950-52 1st Generation has a nicer flatter cap that gives a spectacular shave.For some reason I cannot get a good shave out of my GBar, I have tried it with GEM SS PTFE and Treet carbons both and just cannot seem to get it to run on my face.

How would you compare the L1 (and L2, if you have that baseplate) to any/all vintage GEM razors that you have used? I have been on the fence about ordering a Sabre but would not want to spend the money if the Micromatic Open Comb or 1912-style GEM razors are more efficient. Thanks for your thoughts.19-aug-2020 - Sabre L1 - GEM (6) - still good, soap Copper Hat Lumberjack mild scent
Got the "move the nose technique" down so it's no longer a "problem area".

Thanks! The USD price is also insane... I paid that much for an Above The Tie razor years ago, but that is now "vintage."Hi chuckd, sorry I've no experience with any of the vintage GEM razors. Someone here must have though. Anyone ? I find the Sabre with the L1 is quite efficient for me, 2 pass, no irritation/nicks/burn etc. however the price in CAD is insane for a razor.
