I'm still working through my safety razor collection, but am almost done and looking forward to revisiting my straights. The 14er with a (now) muted tip will be the first up. I admit that I'm surprised by how much I like that razor. And it's all your fault that I have it! :)

I'm considering a run through all GEM razors. I've been planning one for a while, but it's a 14 shave commitment

The 14er is a flagship Böker, and if you ignore all the laser engraving and gold wash, it's a fairly conservative design. IMO, this is exactly what Böker does best; consistent geometry in good steel. I'm not surprised you enjoy it, and I sure enjoy mine 😊
