Next GEM up in rotation was one I fixed with a paper clip. Still working and even better with a
fresh GEM PTFE blade in it finally. Just a great all round shave experience.
GEM 1912 Razor - Ivory Cased Set
GEM SS PTFE Blade (1X)
Talbot Shaving Winter's Refraction Soap
AP ShaveCo 25mm STF Bronze Brush
Pinaud Classic Vanilla Splash Mix
Varon Dandy Aftershave Spritz
What's the wire on the razor???
The flat spring for the top cap was broken when I got the set. A Newbie mistake of mine but you live and learn.
So I looked at it and figured out how the original tensioning worked. I took a small paper clip and wound it around and through the top cap and Voila - fixed. It snaps open and closed and holds the blade snug.
