[Mail Call] Ever-Ready Streamline Jewel
[Mail Call] Ever-Ready Streamline Jewel
A couple of months ago, @EldrormR@sub.wetshaving.social loaned me some GEM razors including a beautiful Ever-Ready Streamline. His was in a plastic (or maybe bakelite?) case. "Streamline" has become the vernacular for referencing any of the various razors that look like a "Streamline". They come in various packaging, which differentiates them for collectors.
Anyway, I fell in love and started to casually keep an eye out for one. They are notoriously hard to come by, especially in the USA. Nevertheless, one fell in my lap! A nice one, too!
Specifically, the one I got is called an Ever-Ready Jewel because it comes in a metal case, and although mine doesn't have the "paperwork", these metal cases came with an insert that called it "Jewel".
Most of these have purple felt inside the case. The one I got has red felt.
Yay, Streamline/Jewel++; There not just great razors, I also enjoy how solid they feel. It's like shaving with a magic Volvo that's also pretty
Is this one of u/VisceralWatch's razors? These used to be his prize possessions, you're lucky!
Yes, this is his beloved Jewel. He's moving in with his honey soon, so he's using it as an excuse to downsize his collection (hit him up if you want anything). It was a very generous gift, actually! I'm helping him out with a non-shave related project and he decided I deserved it. Who am I to argue?
Gorgeous razor!
