The razor finds locally have not been good lately. Did my rounds this morning to the local shops, to my surprise one of the dealers had this Lather catcher set aside for me. I thought it was a Yankee but the bottom is stamped "Daisy" .

Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Mug Shave Soap 
Jayaruh #224
AutoStrop A1
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
Cold Water Rinse
Florida Water

The Colgate Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A1 Single Edge Razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  GEM Junior vs Gem Junior Bar
Posted by: kopas - 10-04-2024, 09:52 AM - Forum: GEM - Replies (5)

I'm new to GEM razor and am trying to figure out which ones to get. I've read good things about the GEM Junior Bar. And thought I'd get one of those. But it dawned on me that the GEM Junior and Gem Junior Bar are two different razor. The first being a variation of the 1912 and the second being a lather catcher that can accommodate both wedge blades and newer GEM style blades.

Are there any similarities in how these shave or is the Junior nomenclature the only thing they have in common?

Pictures for reference. Not mine.

  GEM Micromatic Clog pruf V1 vs Peerless (V2)
Posted by: kopas - 10-01-2024, 08:42 AM - Forum: GEM - Replies (7)

Hello!

I have tried to find info on these two razor but I could not find enough comparisons to tilt in favor of either version. Thought I'd try my luck here. Out of those who have tried both versions (old version with 12 nibs and newversion with 17 nibs on the safety bar), do you find any difference in how they shave? Is one smoother or more comfortable than the other? More efficient perhaps?

Appreciate all the input I can get.

Pic for reference. Not mine.

Old Clog pruf with 12 nibs to the left. Peerless with 17 nibs to the right.
