johna2231 Had mentioned awhile back that he had bought a couple of push button Gems that were too mild for him and he might consider selling. He was generous enough to give me a shot at them. When he sent me a pic by email I got a surprise. One of them was a push button and the other was a First model Contour with the push button to lock and unlock. As I already had a Contour II it was not hard to push the button on these. The Push Button will go for a PIF as I have one in the collection already. The Contour is all mine. ;D The contour is on the left the contour II is on right in both pictures. The first thing I notice is that the contour is much heavier then the contour II. It is just a heavier build razor all around. There is more metal in the handle and a taller profile to the head.

The shave is very like the Push Button. I think I like the handle more on this one though. The thing is mild but not as mild to me as the Contour II. It will be a welcome edition to the collection. Thanks again John.

I've heard of these but never used one. Funnily enough, they were never sold down here, So the G-Man sold their 'Atra' pivot head cartridge razors here the "contour", as the SE razor wasn't in the market down here to take the name first..
