GEM 1924 PIF!!! World-wide. Sign up here if you have never tried one.

[krup327]

EDIT: The razor is actually an Ever-Ready, minor detail... (I can't change the thread title.)

Many people have shown me tremendous generosity here at Badger and Blade, and to show a token of my appreciation, I offer an Ever-Ready 1924 SE razor as a PIF. I will include 2 new Gem blades to get you started.

Rules:
1. You don't currently own a Ever-Ready/ Gem 1924.
2. You have not tried one before.
3. To enter, post "I'm in" in this thread by noon MST on Monday, March 5.
(It's open to all world-wide meeting the above criteria.)

See pic below. It's not perfect. It shows some brassing on the head, but is perfectly usable. Good luck!

Ok, I'm in. I've got a 1912 and love it, would be interesting to try this model out.

[OldGreyGuy]

I'm in.

Will this count as an open comb?

[kirk 988]

ive got a 1912 but never tryed a 1924 please count me in

[krup327]

I'm in.

Will this count as an open comb?

I have wondered this myself. It certainly behaves like one vs. a closed safety bar.

[krup327]

This has me wondering... was there a version of this 1924 razor with the "Gem" brand on it?

[ingrownwarrior]

I'm in.

I hear this is a great option to attempt to solve my ingrown hair issues. I've been on the lookout for one of these. I have tried an injector, but no other kind of SE razor. Here's hoping...

[Azarius]

Never tried a GEM of any kind at all, count me in.

Thank you for such a cool PIF.

[atxguy]

Count me in.

[WhiteKnight]

I'm in.

Very nice PIF.

[gnoils]

I have never tried an SE. Count me in for your generous PIF!

[Legion]

Very nice of you.

I've not tried a 1924 so "I'm in".

[moe joe]

Wow i'm in! Not even touched to it :)

[Kooze]

[larzone]

I'm in. A great PIF, I must say! Looking forward to 5:th. of March!

[IA_Cabby]

Awesome, I'm in!

[brushybill]

my first se was a 1924 er, whoever gets this razor is going to love it, the audable feedback on the 1924 vs the 1912 is incredable,
good luck to you all and congrats to the winner

[jbradley]

Great PIF! I'm in! I'm in love with my OCMM, thanks for the chance.

[Oblique Human]

Great razor. Unfortunately, I don't think I could find the blades for this where I live or I would have entered the draw. Nice PIF nonetheless.

[Lacroix]

Count me in. I don't have any safety razors older than I am.

[tebbiebear]

I'm in! Great Pif! I have never tried a Single edge of any kind and would very much like too. Thanks!

[Glasstream15]

Please include me. I have a Clog-Pruf and think it's great. Would love to try an older one.

Thanks

[Ssaunders81]

I'm in. Looking to ditch the multi blade shaving style. Tired of ingrown hairs and stuff. Got in on the slickdeals razor but would love to have a vintage razor and roll with that.

[bill w.]

I'm in !
Thanks for the opportunity.

[Quigg]

I'm in, too. I have tried single-edge razors, but not this model. Thank you for the offer.

[Treeski]

I'm in! I've never tried any SE razor before, it'd be nice to expand my horizons a little more!

[cxg231]

Great PIF krup327! Just wanted to say that, but I'm not in.

[beengone]

I'm in. I've been curious what the deal with an SE is for a while now. is it really that different?
Thanks.

[dpotts01]

I'm in.

[PFP_Dad]

I've never tried an SE, please count me in!

[drocu]

I'm in!

[jbradley]

is it really that different? Thanks.

It is. It isn't a better shave, just a....different shave.

[kcb5150]

The two big differences are the angle you use and the thickness of the blades. A sharp se blade just powers through anything you put in front of it. I actually used my 1924 for the first time in a long time today. I wouldn't call it an ideal gateway se, but it is capable of providing an incredibly close shave provided you aren't careless with it.

[Bellac]

I'm in! Thank you for such a great pif.

[Rjack]

I'm in,thanks.

[Badger & Bengall]

I'm in!

I've got a rusty irreparable 1924, so I hope that doesn't count as having tried one.

Thanks for the opportunity.

[krup327]

Bump.

[SeattleSparky]

24 ME!!! I'm in!! Curious as to how it would compare to a Gbar?

[natchez]

Very, very nice PIF. These razors compare very favorably to a G-Bar, 1912, and the others. Gives a fine shave. Water does tend to accumulate a bit in these heads, so it is a good idea to tip it on its side to let the water run out. Good luck to all the entrants.

[cwnidog]

I'm in.

[krup327]
