GEM razors

Good afternoon.
I have a GEM 1912 open comb razor, which I find a tad too agressive.
I also recently bought a G-bar, which I find somewhat too mild.
Can you recommend something in-between, please?

I saw a Contour Pushbutton, but have the feeling it’d not be sharper than the G-bar. (Just a feeling of course...)

The MMOC is even more agressive than the one I have I guess?

Thanks in advance!

A guy on another site put charts like these two together. https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/thr...t-12139739

Hope this can help!

Thanks!

All the Gem razors produced after the G-Bar aka Push Button, Contour and Contour II are all milder than a G-Bar. Gem Featherweight which was also produced before and alongside the G-Bar will be milder than a G-Bar.

MMOC is one of the most aggressive GEM razors ever made. Probably the best option for somewhere between a 1912 and G-Bar is a Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf or Bullet Tip.

Thanks!
My G bar doesn't have a push-button?

I bought your last two suggestions a week ago!
They're both in the mail now!

Nope on the G-bar. The push button Gem and Contour have push buttons. The main difference between the Contour and Contour II is the Contour is a push button and Contour II is a flip top. Both if I remember correctly should shave the same.

Good luck with the razors but keep in mind there is some variation in how the Micromatic Clog Prufs and Bullet Tips shave. The bullet tips come in 2 distinct shaving variations, ones with and ones without what is called the guiding eye. The way to tell simply is look at the cap, if it has a round indent/dot it is a guiding eye if it doesn't then it isn't. The Clog Prufs vary by how many teeth are on the guard what I call the MKI Clog Prufs have less teeth than the MKII Clog Prufs. Once you've seen one of each they are easy to spot from there on in. Point is if you get these and they don't meet your expectations then try seeking out the other variation of each.

Very appreciated, thanks!
Had a wonderful shave with my G-bar this morning!

Update:
I got my two new GEM razors this week.
A GEM micromatic bullet-tip, and a GEM micromatic clog-pruf (12 teeth).
Althought they're both great, my preference goes to the bullet-tip.
It has about the same level as my G-bar, but it's more hefty, balance is perfect, and the TTO mechanism is a big plus.
The clog-pruf is more agressive, while not as much as an open-comb, but I don't need this higher level, which comes with more glade feel and potential irritation.
I have a very mild beard, so the G-bar and Bullet-tip are just about perfect for me!

Hi again.
Speaking of my GEM 1912.
I've read somewhere, couldn't find it, that this razor came with two styles of combs.
One has more squarish combs while the other one has round combs.
I'm wondering if the rounded combs one is a tad smoother than the squarish.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: it may be an Every-Ready though...

The 1912 feels aggressive if the angle is not shallow enough and too much pressure is applied.
Bring the cap almost to touching the skin / handle up, lightest possible pressure and movement direction that follows the skin with a little stretching.
