Someone said to my teachers teacher that he wanted to study Martial Arts to be like Bruce Lee.....My teachers teacher apparently answered ....Why do want to be like Bruce Lee ?
He's Dead....

My first, and currently only, SE. It was my grandpa's and it took me a few decades to decide to try it out. Glad I did! I have a Clog-Pruf and a G-Bar on the way. Will post once I have them in my hands.
... after a disappointing first LOUIS, which was a piece of junk, I think I hit the jackpot with this one:
The included blade is good enough and I think it will respond to honing well. It'll take a modern GEM perfectly well, otherwise.

I got this sweet little British Made GEM repatriated from Australia:
The keen-eyed amongst you will notice that the blade, too, is a British Made GEM.

I've had this one for a while, but quite an interesting razor.
The young safety razor co.
That's definitely unique. How is it?
Hey! That Young looks like good fun!
Have you tried an injector blade in it? So long as you can trap it firmly and get the blade edge up front, great ...

The young shaves much like a 1912 gem and takes standard SE blades
Oh, sound! That's excellent! It looked just a little short for a GEM blade. Enjoy!
A trio of Gems:
Including my first Damaskeene!
But check out the mirror finish on this one
I'm starting to enjoy these ebay lots. Been finding hidden "gems" (ha) in them.

Wait....so now I need to find a Radio, an Oxford and Treet razor so I can call my collection of 1912's complete?? My wife is gonna kill me.
Clog-Pruf micromatic, G Bar, and Schick G2 (14k gold filled 1946 Christmas Edition). All in the last few weeks. Too bad that open comb Damaskeene on eBay went to another bidder for $46 today...
I think the fever is breaking - honest!

Just got this 1901 Kampfe Bros. New Model Star Lather Catcher set.
I'm amazed at how well this razor cleaned up - there is no brassing at all anywhere. It must have been used very lightly and then stored away for many years. Ah, if these razors could only talk!
