Leisurely holiday Monday shave led me to the bottom of my drawer for an everready. Haven't used it in years as it gave me rough shaves and then I acquired a very easy to use GBar. The handle is also small and not interchangeable with modern handles. Had a great shave with it. View attachment 1223509blade question. Is this the standard blade that most people use?

These are the ones I bought from bullgoose some time ago. I believe they are the famous ptfe coated stainless gem blades.
