you must post pictures :) The razor of course , the blood..optional :)

Just finished my 1st successful SE shave. 1912 with the rounded head. Very, very nice. A fair bit of blood flowed, though. This really requires no pressure, right? The 2nd and 3rd passes were better as I figured it out. I picked up 200 GEM blades in the recent group buy. Now I'm in the 1st stages of SERAD.
 
Post pictures of them, including the heads and handles and any markings ! I am sure someone can help you identify them

Just had a wonderful shave with what I think is an Everready this evening! (I bought several SEs when I started out but not sure which is which now!)
 
We all love pictures here! Don't forget to post them :) Mine has never been used..it is being saved for Mr Arley to break it in for the 1st time. I am more of a collector being a woman with no whiskers :applause:

I love my SE razors ... shave-wise, if I had started SE then gotten into DE - well, I'd been a little disappointed with DE!

Yesterday, I tried a VALET AutoStrop -same model as Mooshi Kin pictured above- with a Feather blade and got a nice shave with not a drop of blood!

Of course as my signature line states, the GEM OCMM is my main SE razor (using GEM PTFE blades).

LOSER = Winner! :blink:

Just checked, it was a Gem MM tonight. Looks a lot like the one you showed earlier, except that looks slightly golden to me (might be the lighting here) whereas mine looks like plain silver colour. Not so exciting but a classic all the same!
 
I'm super proud to be a LOSER! My girlfriend went to an antique store three weeks ago on her lunch break and bought me a razor that she thought looked cool.

I got home and it was a GEM 1912. I was I intimidated at first, but I jumped in. I had the best shave of my life, with zero irritation.

Since then the GEM is the only razor I have used, I use it every day!

And if I don't get sniPed on the bay, I may soon be the owner of a Damaskeene, which I hear is the perfect razor. Although its hard to believe anything is better than my 1912.
 
They both sound like keepers :) The girlfriend and the Gem :)
Post pics! Let us know if you get the Damaskeene and post pics of it too!
