Hello,

Since I am in Europe, I have limited access to all GEM models, but I have a few - MMOC, Clog pruf, Featherweight
I love open comb Micromatics, because of efficiency and easy for use. I know some people find them too aggressive, but with good technique shave should be fine.

So, who is your favorite GEM model and why?  Rolleyes

Humbert Humbert: Yes, of course, because all the best people shave twice a day (from the film Lolita (1962))

The Open Comb Damaskeene is definitely an incredible razor. I also absolutely love the Gem Zinn Automatic and the Gem Junior Bar. They are beautiful razors, they are over 100 years old and the deliver excellent shaves.

Hard to pick one. If I could only keep one it would probably be a lather catcher. Early Kampfe or Star.
Happy shaves to ya!
