GEM Jr

[Wchnu]

I've read a few posts on other forums detailing a shorter, flatter head on the junior compared to the original Gem razors. The change over to modern flatter Gem blades mentioned by Tom could explain the changes in geometry. Using the "Junior" name  could be a marketing touch to show tht it is a newer generation just like the Gillette "New", "improved" for its double sided thingies.

I have seen that flatter head on travel sets I think. I will have to dig around and see if I can find enough razors to find out if there are Jr.s with different heads or if the different heads carry different names.
