Just received this Gem Jr with the Bakelite handle. It smells like mothballs🤢 It is a user grade. I will give it a really good cleaning. YESSSSSSS THAT RIGHT THERE IS MY FAVORITE SET!! The G3 is what I travel with. You will love the shaves from that. I have given away several of those. Some of them have a metal handle, but I prefer the bakelite....smell and all!

Just won this earlier tonight. I have been looking for a few years. I did not want to pay the silly prices. I happened across this with 10 minutes left. I threw a $30 bid and got it for $26.50. I now have an A,B&C

I had an A. Either it went missing in a move or I gave it away. I am pretty sure I did not give it away... Grrrr. Loved the shave from it though. Great find!!

jayaruh that is a great looking Contour. Very mild razor, but a good shaver. I am sure you will enjoy.

I dry mine, and I dry my razor too. I go a step further and "belly strop" my blades. It takes very little time and just adds a little TLC to the blade, and they seem to last a bit longer.

Got my Schick A today. Gave it a little cleanup. Turned out nice. Holds a new Blade fine.

That is a beautiful specimen. Did you find in the wild? No found it on EBay for $26. I have been waiting almost 2 years to find one for a good price.
