Looks like a nice Gem bar lather catcher in good shape, very nice razor to use with a excellent blade. I use Gem SS PTFE blade one of the best blades in the Market place.

Sunday shave,Feb 16th 2020- I like to use my Pal Injecto-matic every once in a while, two many injectors and not enough days. The Pal company spent well over 1 million dollars to develop this razor in the 1950's and they did a nice job for a injector IMO.

Marlborough is the only soap the Simpson will ever touch by choice.

wonderful shave this morn. Im amazed that technique with my R103 has allowed me to enjoy better and closer shaves combined with less irritation. shave no.5 with this blade and still comfortable. I will see how far I can stretch it before it starts feeling tuggy. before I thought the blades were rubbish after two shaves.

same deal, short strokes......no pressure. audible feedback is even more pronounced. turned off bathroom fan so I could enjoy hearing it.

probably doesnt hurt either that I clean and spray the whole set up with G96 milspec gun cleaner after each use. couple q tips in hard to reach areas.....and she's ready to sit on my dresser again.

be well.
