Personally I hope it's a bit more assertive than the General, as there's really only one blade option.If the shave quality of Colonial's GEM razor is anything like the General, I'll be all over it.
They need to get it right. I have tried the Sabre L1 & ATT SE G1 and far too mild for me, could not get a decent Shave, though by shimming the ATT I get a DFS shave. Replicating the quality of shave that can be obtained with Vintage SE is a tall order.Personally I hope it's a bit more assertive than the General, as there's really only one blade option.
I know there are carbon and rehoned or NOS, but mostly Gem SS.

Me too Mike, throw in postage and Customs, >£70 for alu.See Phoenix Accoutrements have now launched their Alu Gem Razor, am standing on the sidelines with that one.
Hi Mike , yes I was looking at it earlier , I actually had one in the basket but backed out , I think I have been mentally scarred by previous encounter's with modern Gem Razor'sHi Derrick,
It must have been extremely galling for you, they obviously did not get testers with above average growth. See Phoenix Accoutrements have now launched their Alu Gem Razor, am standing on the sidelines with that one.
