Last week, I had my best-ever shave, with a Featherweight no less. The Treet blade had 2 shaves on it already, and this might have contributed. BBS all over, from the base of my neck on up, including under the jawline and the neck/jaw/ear junction, which is usually tough for me to get smooth. Absolutely NO irritation. None. If the 1912 is a better shaver than that, I can't imagine what it would be like to use one.
Antiquestore find: Two GEM's
- Thread starter JEEP
- Start date
Since a few people has asked for their GEM to be identified can Dave or anyone help me out with this one?
I've got a GEM marked as GEM Cutlery Co, but according to ASR.com the name changed in 1900, and this razor is marked pat 1912, so what is it?

Thanks to Dave

) I am seriously considering selling most of my DEs and buying 400 ted pellas (shipping is 30ish dollars, so I might as well use it up by buying 2 packs). I find gems shaving as good as my injectors, only a lot more fun

the first closed open comb model or second 1912 model.
to explain the gem/gem cutlery issue would be taking away from my project.
In other words, patience.
and/or no peeking.
If I don't peek, could you explain this 'closed open comb' thang! I don't quite get that.
sure. when have you seen a comb with a bar across the bottom?

I have never seen a 1912 without the bar.
Hmm. Time to scour eBay!
Great find. I got 2 just like them and I have a gem jr I got in a auction lot good looking razors.
