Went with the real deal Tobacco Vanille with Haverford soap today. I don’t use it much because I just have a small split and I have plenty of other fragrances but dang it’s good!
Tub loaded, face lather. Overall the G-Bar is my favorite razor because I just like how it feels in the hand and it’s just a good form factor, but the Junior is a nice efficient shaver.

It’s pretty hard to find a bad GEM razor imo.

Agreed! I have 2 GEMS and several DEs and I use the GEMS at least half the time. I only like my Gillette Tech and Slim anywhere near as much.
