I'm still on the fence about it.
Tbf I'm not a huge Gem razor fan, I hardly reach for mine.

Keep us posted, please. I still enjoy an occasional GEM shave and appreciate their original approach to shaving.

Shane went ins(h)ane with this one.
Thankfully I'm not a fan of GEM razor.

If you ever have an opportunity to try the Sabre V2, do so. It‘s the only modern GEM razor I’ve tried, but is definitely a smoother shave than any other vintage razor I’ve ever used.

I do own the v2 but I rarely reach for it in favour of my S1 slant and a few other favourites.

Here's the latest info of the Batch 004 that's being released tomorrow.

Batch 004
£175.00
Batch 004 drops Thursday, July 30th at 3pm PDT.
Batch 004 pays homage to the lather catcher razors of the early 1900s. Built from a single, solid piece of stainless steel, Batch 004 has no additional parts or fasteners. Like traditional lather catchers, the GEM blade is held in place under tension without the need for a top cap. A combination of through-holes, slots, and machining texture provides excellent grip and versatile hand positions. The shave is slightly mild with moderate efficiency.

For more on Batch 004 watch this video.

Razor Type: Single Edge, GEM Blade

Material: 304 Stainless Steel
Weight: 114 grams

Finish: Machined.
