Hi all Just received my 1898 Zinn Gem Automatic from D.Irving79 and thought I'd share! I'm very excited - it's like Christmas day all over again. I've attached photos for those who want to drool. I shaved with it tonight. To be honest, it wasn't the best shave of my life, BUT it was definitely the best shave I've had with a new razor. Ended up with a DFS shave after four passes. Absolutely no irritation, but I did get a few small nicks on my ATG pass - I think it was angle as I only had a few when I started the pass, and it stopped when I tweaked slightly. It felt very gentle, but was nicely responsive. So, I am very happy and looking forward to the next shave! Cheers Richard Attachments:

I certainly will. I suspect I didn't have the blade inserted quite correctly - Dave has been incredibly helpful with this. Let's see how next shave goes...

(this is such a frustrating way to add photos!) You can upload your photos to an image hosting site like photobucket.com and them simply copy the code for the picture and paste it in your thread. This allows you to put all the photos on one post Awesome razor! Can't wait to hear and see more about it ;D

I was always wondering- how do you open it? Could you post a pic of an open razor?

It doesn't open as such - the tab on the top of the razor lifts a metal clamp, for want of a better word, which holds the blade in place.
