    Anybody ever shave with a GEM?

    I love to try out vintage razors but the Gillettes, especially the pocket editions, seem to be fetching high prices right now. I am seeing a lot of old GEMS on there go for under $10.00 The 1912 model looks pretty neat and has a nice handle. Anybody ever shave with one of these?

    I've been considering a GEM lately, because I've read a bunch about them on Badger & Blade. I have an old Rolls Razor and it's a single edge "wedge" type saftey razor with a built in strop, and I've shaved with it a few times. Not the best shave but I'm sure the GEM would provide a better shave. Let me know if you try it and like it...that may push me over the edge on the purchase, lol

      OK will do. The head of that razor is certainly different than Gillette.
