Thanks for the series! It’s really quite interesting to see how they went with their designs - judging just by looks and mechanisms, I’d have thought the Flying Wing was the last GEM razor ever produced. However, this G-Bar looks very great - combines the clamp mechanism w/ a solid handle that has nice knurling. Kinda gets me in the mood for vintage razor hunting again 😄

Totally, right?

combines the clamp mechanism w/ a solid handle that has nice knurling.

Both the streamline and the G-Bar fit that description, and I think I prefer the Streamline between the two.

I’m also happy to loan you a bunch of you want to try before you buy.

  Yeah, I thought the TTO/Butterfly mechanism was something that only came to be way later. Both the MMOC that I got from you as well as my Flying Wing are such solid razors.
  
  I can see your point in the Streamline. Definitely looks really solid too. There’s just something I really like about the G/E-Bar razors’ conic handle shape. Kinda makes it look like a knife handle and I dig that. Weird, I know 😅
  
  Thanks for your offer - I might get back to you once the postal service Christmas chaos here in Germany is over!
