judging just by looks and mechanisms, I'd have thought the Flying Wing was the last GEM razor ever produced.

Totally, right?

combines the clamp mechanism w/ a solid handle that has nice knurling.

Both the streamline and the G-Bar fit that description, and I think I prefer the Streamline between the two.

Kinda gets me in the mood for vintage razor hunting again ๐Ÿ˜„

I'm also happy to loan you a bunch of you want to try before you buy.

Yeah, I thought the TTO/Butterfly mechanism was something that only came to be way later. Both the MMOC that I got from you as well as my Flying Wing are such solid razors.

I can see your point in the Streamline. Definitely looks really solid too. There's just something I really like about the G/E-Bar razors' conic handle shape. Kinda makes it look like a knife handle and I dig that. Weird, I know ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks for your offer - I might get back to you once the postal service Christmas chaos here in Germany is over!
