Is there a difference between a GEM razor and a GEM Jr. razor?

I have been hunting around for a lather catcher.  Any suggestions!!

Someone across the street was talking about this one. Kind of looks like a PAL adjustable to me. I have never shaved with one though. This one could be fun!

The Gillette Twinjector was made to take Gillette's Twin Injector Blade, but I prefer a regular injector blade. The Twin Blade tended to clog for me. Anyhow, today, I broke out my Twinjector and used a Personna blade in it. It was an excellent Menthol Monday shave.


Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #206 Two-band Badger
Gillette Twinjector 
Personna Injector
CWR
Osage Rub

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #206 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Twinjector razor with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Loving this scent. It is more of a Bay Rum type scent then anything. Very fresh and old guy feeling.

Anyone else having trouble getting to https://postimages.org/ website? It does not load for me so I cannot get to my images. Maybe something has changed or they are just down.

Hey everyone! I’ve been mostly away from forums for quite some time, but find myself with more downtime at home than I know what to do with and have started poking around again. If you’ve been a SE user for a while you might recognize me, yes I’m that Mr. Guy. For those of you who aren’t the couple of guys to remember me (I really don’t think I’m memorable or important, just being silly), I’m a long time SE user and proponent, primarily OCMMs. Still use the open comb for the majority of shaves followed by other SE options, with the occasional DE to keep things interesting.
Big thanks go to ShadowsDad for reaching out on another forum to let me know you’re all here. Thank you 

A gentleman wanted me to make him a brush in the style of #109 with a silvertip badger. So, I got to work. I ordered the knot and began the glue-up process. While I was at it, I made an extra. I told him he could choose which one of the two to adopt.



I turned both handles.



After I created the holes, I dry fitted them with two-band badgers.



I finished them with polycrylic.



He chose #418 for the silvertip badger. Here it is post bloom.



Here is #419 with a two-band badger after the first lathering. I am keeping this one for now.

I must admit, I have never been fond of the synthetic knot I had put in #220. So, today, I decided to take it to the next level. I removed the old knot and replaced it with a two-band badger.  That will be a big improvement.

Here it is before the rekotting.


I cut off knot.


I opened up the hole and dry fitted the new knot.


Here it is with the new knot set. I am looking forward to using this new configuration this week.
