Super! I just bagged the GEM equivalent of the Ever Ready 'Speedster' I already have in my collection, the 'Conquerer' from roughly 1925:
Also, a nice GEM set "with compliments from American Safety Razor Corp".

Now we know who got it ! Well done, hope it goes well . The Mailman must have worn a track to your front door. Mine says "another razor" when I open the Door.Received this Schick (G2?). Solid gold plated handle.
Looks better than it did in the photos which is always a pleasant surprise.

Very nice. They are very firmly in my radar so hopefully I'll be grabbing them shortly.

Great photo and now you're perfectly equipped to join us in next week's SAW thread which I believe will be Saponificio Varesino. See you there.

Received this old Wilkinson Fixed Profile metal razor.
The poor packaging - thin envelope instead of a box - unfortunately resulted in a crack in the plastic lid but...as the razor was less than $3 I'd feel bad even mentioning it.
The razor itself is pure NIB/NOS though and looks/felt great
The razor is very similar to another design by Sir Kenneth Grange - the Wilkinson Royale (t0 the right below) - but with less metal in the handle and therefore less heavy.

Today brought me a GEM 'Triumph' from France (middle) to be kept company by it's celluloid sibling, the GEM 'Supreme' (left) and Ever Ready cousin, the 'Sport' (right) which also has a celluloid sibling, the 'Town' (not pictured):

Aah - I used the Profile, back in the day; might still have one somewhere. A better design than the Royale in my bookReceived this old Wilkinson Fixed Profile metal razor.

Received one big package with two 'razor lots' from the same seller.
Lot 1: $12
- Concord cartridge razor, silvertip badger brush and metal stand
Quite a nice surprise this set. The razor feels 'so-so' (a bit too lightweight for me) but the brush has a very nice and solid metal handle - and the knot was a positive surprise as it is very soft and has some nice backbone. This will be a fun one to try out.
- It also came with a shaving mug and a Silverwing Deluxe Groom Mate!
Now, this Silverwing Deluxe Groom Mate is, according to the sticker, priced at $15 in west hollywood - so there. Profit already!
Lot 2: $14.99
- Merkur MII NIB. I already have one of these and love it. It's a great razor normally priced around $50.
This one also came with all the adapters, that I were missing, that allows a great number of different cartridges to be used with it.
- This lot also came with a Col Ichabod Conk brush (badger-boar mix) and a mug.
I don't really use their soaps and the brush felt awfully stiff/unpleasant so this part of the lot may well not see much use (read: I'll sell it).
- Oh, and...this lot also came with a Silverwing Deluxe Groom Mate! I'm telling you. Gold. Pure gold.
I did really like that the Merkur MII was pictured on one of the mugs - it's good pairing
And, the question that, by now, is on everyone's mind - how did you like the Silverwing Deluxe Groom Mate?
Well, I of course tore one of the packages open and tried it out right away and let me tell you - my nose is BBS.
