What do you think of the E bar? For me it's the worst of the GEMs I've tried. Way too mild and pretty inefficient

Oh, really? Mine's definitely not inefficient. I prefer Micromatics because they have the coolest mechanism in shaving technology, but I don't see any fault in how the E-bar shaves.

I think my Flying Wings might be milder, and I like those, too.

I can't get excited about the E-bar because it's a bit boring, though.

I've the sexy gold version. Still not my favourite. I liked my 1912 best

Gold version of the E-Bar, or the Flying Wing?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m not sure I ever tried the e-bar.

At some point. I should probably just buy one for my collection…

Fair warning: it is remarkably unremarkable. That being said, I bought one for the exact same reason :D

I'm happy to lend you mine if you want to try, just don't expect anything mindblowing.

Thanks! I’d take you up on it if it wasn’t for the fact that for a bit more than the price of transatlantic shipping I can buy myself one. I don’t feel too compelled to buy a new razor right now, but when the urge strikes it’s good to know what I can look at.
