Just shaved my beard. I am already thinking about growing it again. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk
From the boot heel of Louisiana, welcome to TSD @Rod Cole! Glad you found us and I'd expect the SE users can answer your questions. This is your own personal conversation right here so feel free to post photos and query the crowd. There's another Group that specializes in Gem and single edge safety razors. It's run by TSD member Fuzzy @wchnu & populated by his Fuzzettes. Do stop by The Original Safety 2 and say "hi!"
That's what one of my former co-worker would do....shave it all off, then let it grow right back. He said he wanted to "give his face and chin some air for a bit".
Welcome to TSD, I like my Gem razors and compiled some information on them and it might help you.https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/gem-razor-models.60719/
