Brass SE Models?

[David in Boston]

Guys,

Does anyone how many SE models ASR (Gem, Ever Ready etc) made of Brass only?

For example, I just got a G-Bar which is chrome but was wondering did it come in a brass model?

I'm thinking of starting a collection of SE razors that are brass only.

Pics would be nice.

Thanks.

I'm not 100% sure on the exact metals, but I have open comb and clog pruf versions of the Micromatic in nickel plated and all brass, or something very brass-like. Also a few 1912 styles that appear to be all brass. I can get some pics tomorrow for you.

I am not exactly sure also, but I got a couple of GEM 1912 Jr Parade edition and they are Brass and really polished up nicely.

I don't think I've seen either G-bars or Featherlights other than in white metal.

There were many ASR razors which were made of brass, but the G-bar razor is a zinc die-casting. All of these that I've seen appear to be chrome plated.

Just picked up a brass Micromatic this afternoon.

Got some Brasso and I'm hopping it will shine up nicely.

Thanks for offering the pics.

My long term goal is to have a collection of silver DE razors and brass SE razors.

The question is how many model types of brass SE razors have been made.

I have two brass Gem Juniors and they're pretty common. I also have a gold colored Gem Micromatic. It appears to be plated, so i don't know what's underneath. The Juniors are no brainers and shave great. The MM shaves great too, but I'm more careful with it due to the finish.
