    And I promised myself I wasn't going to be a collector. How wrong was I?

    Which of the Gem razors is in the range 1950 - 55?

    The GEM Featherweight comes to mind.

    Steve, Mark YOUR location on the TSD map:) - instructions here. I only see two mates there in the land down under.

    The bullet tip was introduced in 1947, my birth year. I consider it my birth year (era) razor. It is a fine shaver. Here is one of mine. I wish I had one of those "Push-Paks".
