Featured is a wonderful Safety Razor by Gem.

  • Gem produced millions of single edge safety razors from the 1880’s through 1980’s.
  • The G Bar style is a great choice for its value and performance.
  • Introduced in 1875, the safety razor made shaving a faster and safer alternative to the straight razor with the use of a blade guard.
  • Today, antique and vintage shaving items have become highly collectible, depending upon the age, condition, rarity, and style.
  • There are two organizations dedicated to learning the history and preserving shaving items: The National Organization for Barber Shop Memorabilia and The National Shaving Mug Collectors Association.
  • Shaving items have a long history throughout the world.
  • The two most important factors in getting a good shave are angle and pressure.
  • With a vintage razor, there is no flexible head that contours to your face so for a good shave you must find the right shaving angle which is usually between 20-30 degrees.
