    Default Delurking

    Hello all; I have been lurking for about 2months now and decided to post tonight. I used a 1912 Gem Junior tonight. I picked it up for $3.00 last week and cleaned it up. I have been using a Gillette SS red tip and a Gillette Fatboy. It is the closest shave I have ever gotten apart from getting a str8t razor shave from my barber. I was amazed. The technique is a little different, but when you got it at the correct angle it produced a unique sound and feel. I didn't get any razor burn or nicks.

    Welcome br8veheart!

    Did you use a ted pella or a gem personna blade for you SE(single edge) 1912 gem?

    I don't much care for the redtip but the fatboy is definetly in my top 5. I prefer gillette super thins for most of my DE but a feather is magical in a fatboy

    As already mentioned if you have any questions please feel free to ask.
