I'm having really good luck with the PAL blued carbon steel blades SWMBO grabbed for me at the bloom. I'm afraid if I find any other reason to keep using the GEM, I'll neglect the rest of my razors
Been rotating my Gold Tone Gem Junior with a 1912 Ever-Ready.
Other razors are having a tough time cracking the lineup at the moment -
The shaves are comfortable, close, long lasting and also (a negative?) quick. I'm done with the razor in under 5 minutes. No rush, just no need to repeat passes - something about the head geometry just works for me.
I agree with these posters - clean it up and use it.
I'm off to Bloom tomorrow to find some PAL blued steel blades....

Supremely toasty looking Gold Tech. Already have a nice one but this one was too cherry and too cheap. And the case is sweet.
Plus:
Knize Ten soap in the wooden bowl,
W&S Orange Balm.
Waiting on:
TGQ creams,
Anglia Perfumery samples

arrived today - truly NIB - blades are sealed in cellophane, cardboard "blade warning" still inserted... photo (w/ reflections) doesn't do justice.....

and also: fragrance samplers from Floris and Penhaligon's.
Very nice!
Picked up these old things yesterday.
If you turn it sideways and we can see the center bar (notched or not notched) then we can date it even more accurately.
Nice, any cracks in the Tuckaway handle?
Not a single crack. My picture taking skills are about as good as a chimpanze's so its hard to tell how good it looks. The case is slightly beat-up but the razor is immaculate.

That ain't bad . . . it's RAD!
Nice looking grab. Congrats and enjoy!

if you didnt go broke buying those....then i hate you.
i was in a salvage/damaged goods store in griffin georgia today.i picked up a VDH boar brush w/hunter green handle for $1.50,a lot of canned goods and spices.after checkout i saw a rack of aftershaves and perfumes and mentioned to my wifes step- mother that i would have to come back and pick up the gift pack of british sterling 2.5 oz a/s and cologne spray for $6.99.she picked it up and carried it over to her husband who was checking out had him buy it for me.and refused reimbursement.so i got a freebie.
My wife showed her undying love by buying me my own little armoire for my shave stuff. Not like I needed a reminder after 23 years of wedded bliss but yeah, she's a a keeper.

Fixing up that lot should keep you out of mischief for a while 
Nice aquisition sir. A couple of those edges look very fine indeed. Well done. And are you still looking for more? I'm guessing the answer is yes. Hats doffed to you anyway.
