    You're a B&B member are you not? D.Irving79 is the one to ask, because if he doesn't know, then I don't think anybody does.

    I think I joined there a month after joining here two years ago, if I am not mistaken. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Kind regards,

    I have a Gem Jr. When I bought it I was told that it was a 1911 model. The silver plating is showing significant wear but the etching or engraving is still in pretty decent shape IMO. It shaves very nicely. Unlike a DE using the lather catcher forces one to learn how to properly strech the skin. To me it seems a SE razor is a good step to take between a DE and a straight (at least if you don't want to just dive head first into straight shaving).
