I mused yesterday (of the GEM Damaskeene in reference to the 1912 patent model) that they really got it right the first time around. Well, that goes same again for the GEM Junior Bar, certainly one of the first safety razors to take the single edge blade format that we still use today and well over 100 years old. They really got it right the first time.
 
Once again....a little work was required but the result was perfect :)
Practically the same razor as the Natural Angle, but do you think the Featherweight is perhaps a tad easier?

I remember some years ago, after a couple of weeks of quite horrible illness I took my first shave. One pass with a Featherweight and fresh GEM. and those two weeks of growth came off no problem. That was a highly memorable shave. I'm going to dig my favourite Featherweight out this weekend. Cheers!

Recently returned from its holidays at Satanfriendlies mansion on the tropical beaches of Merseyside. I decided to give the Cobra a gallop. Excellent results with the Pro Guard blade and all done in one pass. Castle Forbes Lavender has always been a favourite, another soap I bought years ago and lost none of its spark.
