Today's GeMonday shave was a comparison between the first and second generation Gem Featherweight. Droo78 noticed the differences and brought it up across the street were it came to my attention. I didn't even realize till then that my two Featherweights were of different generations. A well used Meijer branded SS Accu TEC blade was shared between the two razors. Lather was provided by a wonderful thick creamy Tabac on a RazoRock boar brush. The shave was finished of with a splash of Whitch hazel. The second Gen was up first and handled the left side neck and the left cheek above my beard line. A two pass shave first WTG then ATG for testing purposes was used. The blade was then switched to the first Gen Featherweight and the same procedure was used on the right side. There were not drastic differences between the two but the remaining stubble on the left (second Gen) side was longer and slightly more noticeable. Neither side was socially acceptable with two passes and a well worn blade on my neck. However my cheeks (were the shaving is always easier) are perfectly acceptable. I did a third pass to clean up the visible stubble for a socially acceptable end result. I will do this comparison again on my next shave with a new blade to see how big an improvement that makes. Personally if I could only keep one of the razors I'd keep the 1st Gen. but I definitely like using both.

There’s not as much difference (curvature) as I thought there would be vs. the flat cap. Felt great though either way. I definitely see the heart shaped cutout on the spring that you told me about.
