    Those are Gem Featherweights. One of the last models made. They are very good shavers. More on the mild end of the Gems.

    All Gems are great shaves IMO

    I had one. Too light and mild for me. I gave it away.

    I kept mine. It is one of the few GEM models that approach a Gillette type shave.

    How do you define "a Gillette type shave"?

    I was just saying it is mild for a GEM razor.

    If you are used to heavier razors, and want to "let the weight of the razor do the work" then yes, it seems mild. The weight of this razor won't do the work. Get the angle and pressure right, and it shaves like a Gem.
