Thanks for that info @Ron R I have been looking for a wedge blade some day I'll find one. That Star Bar is Gorgeous. I know one thing for sure my Gem Junior will never be for sale while I'm on this earth it has become my Favorite Razor even over my Straight razors.

Another great Gem shave this morning. This time the Gem Featherweight Deluxe delivered a delightful shave.
Thank you Gary. I do lve my Gem razors. I really should give some of the others a bit more shave time though. Don't want them feeling neglected.
i am a brit gillette enthusiast because i am british from Leicestershire.but i like old schick injectors and late model valet's.just for a change..
I do like the old Schicks too. I think I may be searching for a C1 next. I have a type B as well as a few other Schicks.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #414 The Bunny V3 Personna injector CWR Tabac ASB Today is Day 29 of SEptember. Up for the challenge today is The Bunny V3. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with The Bunny V3 razor by Tom with a Personna injector blade and NOTSO guard gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Tue 29th Sept. RR 400.SE-Plissoft noir Vitos Super Red. Occam-Hiram Commander/Dot2 Feather Pro [3 ] Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion Just missed Two days of Shaving which is most unusual for me. Spend most Sunday tidying up Bureau with Shaving gear, many boxes gone but not those for Razors. Also had to find home for Razor & Other stuff on and around computer Desk- as replacing it with desk more suited to lap top use , will be able to get my knees under. Yesterday desk assembly and deciding what to have to hand. Good to be able to sit properly at keyboard, no longer sitting sideways. Shave was a relief, First pass was harsh the rest good, so nice to be clean shaven.

Thur 1st October RR 400. SE Plissoft noir P & B Citra Royale ER 1924 Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion. Yesterday I had a most unsatisfactory Shave with an ER 1924 , which I was using as a replacement for the one I have used for years but passed on to a Shaving Buddy. Today I used it with a fresh blade and the Finish was pretty good, but I think that this 1924 is a bit more aggressive than my old faithful. Should have in hindsight kept that one.
