The Cult of Streamline - Streamline & Jewel owners

I did a little bit more research about the seller and he allways seems to get top prices for his razors, and there are differing views on how he achieves his prices. I have 2 sets and paid a total price of £50/$75 for both, and allthough they are nice shavers i have other razors that shave equaly well.
And it does not even have the original leather strop
And the spring to latch the case shut is missing
Well spotted Mike!
I just cannot imagine that these razors are that much better than others in the SE array....The shaves that I have gotten from the 20-30 SE razors that I have are fantastic...and I got them all for not a whole lot more than the price that these razors are fetching.
I think they are higher quality due to the heft and plating, but I don't think they necessarily shave better.
You are right about Mountainsea; In my experience very helpful and nice to deal with.
You are absolutely correct. A Damaskeene will shave you equally as well. It's just become a status piece for SE shavers/collectors. As far as that listing goes, I am reminded of the old saying...A fool and his money are soon parted.

They are still a good value compared to Fatboys. 
I think the politically correct term now is gravitationally challenged.They are still a good value compared to Fatboys.
I don't think that I have ever seen this razor before. I haven't taken the foray into SE's yet though. It is a beautiful looking razors thats for sure. I guess now I have to check the vintage/antiques stores for these too.
I dont think you guys are right 100%.
Are the ones on the more inexpensive correctly identified? If they arent, then i dont know if i woukd present that as 'market' value.
And as far as SE shaves go, the streamline/jewel is really really smooth compared to the ommc and 1912 that I've tried. Maybe its the weight or head, not sure, but its definitely different and i preferred it when trying out SEs
Its not unlike shaving in general, where a whole host of razors can generally result in a great shave.

I think it is cognitive dissonance....
Like the fox and grapes?
Those Steamline Razors are Usually in Great shape, They have such good thick plating jobs on them. Gotta Love Them. ;o)
I Dont think that one is go bad of a price. I got mine over a year ago and paid close to that price. But it did come with the outer Shipper Box and Strap still in its original plastic "Never Opened" All of it's Blades. Here are some pics.
Honestly since CFM was Selling i thought it would of gone for alot more, This complete set is Decently priced IMO.

I got rid of both of mine. I am not a collector and found them severely lacking as a shaver. The 1912's eat them up as a serious shaving tool.
