Mint condition Gem

[Greybeard]

Alas, we all have skins of different toughness. Mine needs to have almost any blade rendered a bit milder (or blunter if you will) for comfort. The material of my trousers does the job just fine. I don't recommend the procedure to others but will continue to use it for myself.

I'm definitely going to try this globalm...I tend towards the least aggressive razors and blades and the lowest possible settings on adjustable razors...if this thread has moved you to try your Featherweight again and your response has moved me to try stropping the Gem blade, then that's what it's all about! Let me know how it goes

I actually think my Gem shaves better than my 1912

I'll second that thought !! It'll definitely give an EJ a run for its money.

i love my featherweight and my schick injector but apart from the looks am i right in thinking that claymore wont give me a better shave than either that is the only thing stopping me from buying one plus i want some new brake lines for me motor cycle

I own all three , 2 or 3 Gem's , several Schicks and 2 Claymore's , sorry to say that the Claymore out shave's the other 2 by a large margin IMO. For me it is down to the Feather Artist Club blade's used in the Claymore and the heft of the razor itself , give's a superior shave , again IMO .

I must admit whilst these razors shave ok, they are not among my favourites even though I own all three makes, all three makes by the way shave just the same.

Regards
Dick.
