Tom, as soon as you said that I figured a little solder and told the wife I may try it. It is missing the safety bar to flip over on it too......The eye rolls have started but I'm used to them 
I don't believe it is supposed to have a safety bar like that.

If you compare the 2 in my pic they are identical down to the pin to hold the bar that's missing. Yours is another model with the guides on the sides too. Study the 2 in my pic and compare and you'll see. By the way, Nice Gem you have there 
Yes it is supposed to have the bar, you can see the spring for it.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

How does the front of a '12 compare? As in replacing the forward section with the front of an old '12. That gives you a good guard and good stops.

Very nice, French I guess. Are you going to hone the wedge or I imagine a Gem would fit easily enough, either way it will be interesting to hear how it shaves.

Reading some older post. I am sure you have talked about it but did you keep this one sealed?
Happy shaves to ya!

So far, yes, but only because I have another Schick O to shave with.
