Picked up the below Gem Junior Bar off the bay. I've seen many comments online that these are generally good shavers.
To my untrained eye it looks to be in pretty good condition. I'm guessing it is one of the "newer/latest" models. It might be a mismatch with the case, but searching online Google shows me a few other Gem Junior Bars with this case. Also some mention of it on other forums, but unable to really see the photos well as I'm not a member. I think for sure the blade bank is not original. The handle has a bit of a crack at the bottom where it has been crimped of sorts, not showing in the photo. Planning to lightly clean and sanitize for Sunday's shave!
Very nice! Some people complain the Junior Bar is too mild but personally I love mine. It looks like the handle may have been designed to fit a stroper in the end which may have caused the crack, certainly doesn't look like a real issue.
I have just picked up the Star Bar, pretty much exactly the same, which I'm about to photograph and post here.
