I actually really like the look of the Gbar and the weight is nice. I just like the shave from the 1st Gen FW better and I really like the looks of the 1st Gen FW deluxe. Mine is a user grade with a fair bit of the gold wash missing. I will eventually get one in prestine condition. There are very few razors I feel the need to do that with if that tells you anything.
Thanks for the twinjector explanation. Did some quick googling and saw a Telly Savalas ad for Gillette Twinjector Blades with him saying, "A cut here...a cut there. Not for me, baby." So this is mimicking a two-bladed cartridge razor I guess.
I've only shave a couple of times with the FW. I didn't have such a good experience the first time, but it got better. I'm not yet totally comfortable with the squared off ends at the corner of the guard. Kind of pointy. I just need to get more experience with it.
I believe the twinjector would be the predecessor to the cartridge. But I'm not great at digging up history on these things.
