the se club

I've got 2 GEM's and a Schick Injector. I've only ever shaved with the injector once, have yet to try the GEM's.

Can I join the club??

Hello, I was able to pick up a 1918 EverReady last nite on eBay. I have the '12's and '14's interested to see an '18!
My favorite DE is the 1918 '04. I'm hoping that this will also be interesting.

I love the "one or two trials will make you an expert" bit from the manual for the everyready!

Hi Ken do you want a couple of Gem PTFE coated SE's sending ? and a slice of Arko ?

First time I've seen the package insert for the EverReady. Very interesting that even then they pointed out about making sure the blade was under the front prongs! as one of the chief instructions.

You will soon know if the blade is on top of the prongs :icon_razz::icon_razz::icon_razz: Done it myself you do not do it again.....trust me.

Do you think it's more advertising speak like Streamlined in a "car add" ? and about looks rather than it's name ?
and 11/6d here's one for 5/3d with x6 Blades !

cheers Danny

Mine is called "streamline", just as the Gems are called "jewel". However mine is from the fifties, just as the add. I have always believed /stated that the fifties model was a reissue from a thirties original. So it could be that in the thirties the ER was called "jewel". It would also explain the price difference.
