I am thinking of trying shaving with a single-edge "Gem" that I have had lying around. Anyone try out SE shaving. Is it not too different from DE shaving? Looking at the blades makes me wonder if it might not be "brutal"?
it is different from a DE. your angle range is far less. keeping the head of the razor either flat on the face or just off the face is key to getting the optimum use of this particular razor. if you need any help, let me know.
These are nice shavers. I will be doing a segment on them down the road. In the mean time you should give one of these beauties a try.
Oh and just an an aside to Dave there.. I made a deal on that 1912... will be sending the MO in the morning WOOHOO!!!!!

I now return you to the actual subject of this thread.
Those Kampfe razors that Ray showed us are gorgeous, but I've yet to go with a bold enough bid to score one from Ebay. If I do finally get one, I suspect I will feel the need to get a blade whipped into shape and try the razor out,

Ray, was there something unusual about the way that auction was titled or something that put it under my radar? I missed it altogether and I usually do watch them pretty close and bid on many of them.
Regards,
Tom
I believe this is a 1912. how much would you pay for this?
