Is there some kind of wiki on DFS, please?
I have a GEM stryle razor and would like to ID it, so I'm looking for comprehensive doc somewhere.
Thanks!

In all seriousness, I think Eric MaineYooper had a website with a lot of history on Gems... Or was it Schicks? Now I'm questioning which it was. Hmm.

Oops, I believe Dave won't get notifications of being quoted unless I do it in the browser... It's a software shortcoming. So, just to cross my T's and dot my I's... Paging Dave in KY and MaineYooper .

Nice to meet you, fblais!
This chart is outstanding, and is located in another neighborhood.
I'll dig around in my files and see if I have a site with pictures.

Wow, thanks a lot!
The one I already have was sold to me as a 1912, but I need to check out that chart.
This morning I ordered a G Bar..

If you feel like spending a bit of money, an excellent source is Robert Waits' Safety Razor Compendium.

Here are a couple more cool threads with some great work done. Ron R, over on B&B, did some of what he calls Visual Representations. For the most part, I agree with his placement, but as we say, everyone's face is different!
Visual Representations
https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/thr...t-12137643
And I just found this 5 minutes ago! A bar graph, and one that lines up exactly with my experiences (thus it MUST be right, right?!)
https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/thr...t-10481772
In the chart, acronyms got used for some razors.
MMFW is the Micromatic Feather Weight
MMCP is the Micromatic Clog Pruf
MMOC is the Micromatic Open Comb
