Never posted in the traditional section before but here it goes... The wife finally (after over 15 years of marriage) said I could let my beard grow out so I need to maintain it so she doesn’t change her mind…2 days later I discovered in the exchange the GEC 15 Urban Jack and fell in love with the fact that it’s a knife AND a beard comb. It’s the answer to a problem I didn’t even know I had lol. Then I saw the 35 Beer and Sausage model today. I loved that as well, though not as much as the urban Jack…So now i want to know, are there any other GEC models (or any other brands for that matter) that have a knife and a comb?

The Urban Jack is the one for you. There is an older series from 2021 with a spear point blade and now this current series with the sheepfoot blade.

Welcome to the porch!

Why not pull up a chair and sit a spell?

Just some added info, the 2021 Urban Jack run used stainless steel liners and, I believe, the liners of the current run are brass.

Personally, I prefer the stainless liners but that don't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things!

The richlite feels a little light in my hand, but its definitely growing on me; nice sawcut they've got going. Pull is probably middle of the road, not crazy light, but definitely not tight.

Nice, thanks for the report. I’ll probably spring for one of these.

This one rises above the sea of mediocre runs lately and is easily an instant classic!

Whatever this new sawcut method is they implemented over there at GEC it works. Looks and feels great

Makes me wonder, at what depth does sawcut just become sawcut-style jigging?

I did not think much of the Brown Richlite Barlows when they were first announced. But I must say that they look very good in the photos I have seen. I cannot wait to get one in hand. Of course, GEC would be much better off letting our Maestro, waynorth work his magic!

Can you take a pic from a different angle, Jim??

You are very kind, Greg!!

 

[Jiki]

Why certainly.

 

[waynorth]

Why certainly.

Thanks for the different perspective! That is a smooooth sawcut!!

When Bill sent me the very first Barlow, he sent me about 6-7 samples! I felt they were too smooth, so he cut the rest deeper!!
