Of all the SE razors I think I like the look of the G-Bar best. Looks solidly built and has a great retro vibe to it. Do these shave any different than a closed comb Micromatic Bullet Tip? Been getting the hang of the Micromatic and thinking of a G-Bar for my next addition to the collection. Any thoughts/experiences to share on this model?
I've only used my G-bar once, but I'm really impressed with it. The weight and balance of that razor are really good. I say get it. Worst case scenario, you can sell it or trade it.
I've got a G Bar, and I like it a lot. I don't like the look of a lot of the ancient SE razors, mainly just a design style I don't like. But the G Bar is got a very clean, nice look. They're easy to use. For some reason the G Bars have held up well as far as finish goes. Mine has some slight pitting on it, but otherwise looks shiny new. They're also inexpensive. $20-$25 like Justin says I think would be a fair price. If there were cosmetic issues I've seen them in the $10-15 range.
Looks like I can snag a decent one for $10 or so without the case - plan on using this one if I really like it (that would leave another $10 for another razor, lol) time for an intervention....
