I think I've bought a Streamline, but time and Mr Hermes Parcels will tell.

After been enabled by @PLANofMAN I spent $3 on this NIB/NOS "Men's Magic Razor".
It's a design that you actually still see today - and for about the same price...
Will be interesting to check out this vintage model though.
From the seller's description:
"
LOOKS LIKE A LIPSTICK TUBE, APPROX 3" HIGH MADE OF HARD PLASTIC IN BLACK/GRAY MARBLE DESIGN. THE LARGE BOX PICTURED HOLDS 12 IND. BOXED RAZORS. YOU'RE GETTING ONE OF THE 12. MASTER BOX READS..."THE KNIFE HEAD WITH TWIN TRACK BLADES IS MADE BY GILLETTE(SHANGHAI) LIMITED" AT ONE END OF THE TUBE IS BLACK GROOVED THAT YOU TWIST TO RISE AND LOWER THE RAZOR(WHICH AT TIMES IS NOT VERY COOPERATIVE) AT THE OTHER END(WHERE THE BLADES COMES OUT) IS A BLACK COVER, WHEN REMOVED HAS A SMALL BLACK BRUSH ATTACHED. MINT NEVER USED."

After years of waiting for an affordable Sheraton or Senator in decent shape, I scored this beauty with the case. It's practically NOS, as evidenced by the orange coloring of the razor. That's the original lacquer coating to protect the gold plating. It ended up being a little over $65 USD + shipping. It should have gone for over $100, but then it would have ended up with someone else. I can't wait to get it!
Edit: it has one minor spot of plate loss, on the very end of the TTO knob. Possibly caused by the case rubbing against that spot.
Here is the listing if anyone wants to view more pictures:

A black Wardonia. The insanity is I've owned and sold both the white and brown Wardonias but I just had to have this un.
Dunno why.
Anyone old enough to remember these funky things? Thought it would make a nice blade bank for the bathroom...

Found a Semogue 1305 on eBay for a price I couldn't turn down.
Then picked up a Semogue SOC from the BST.
Together with the 620 I already have it looks like I'm starting a collection.
