Got this little "GEM" at a local street market on Saturday. I love the engravings on it.

I think I have one like that, Danny, though it's too aggressive for me (most everything is).

Have you tried it out yet?

Haven't tried it yet, Murray. Looking forward to seeing how it shaves.

I'm trying to remember the last decent GEM thread we had.

That is a beautiful razor!
