To be honest I wasn't expecting much from the Edwardian Clemak.
A good shaving friend of mine whose opinion on SEs I greatly respect described this razor as "a cheap piece of trash."
He's an ER 1912 man so I can understand why this razor was not for him, and perhaps he had a different model.
There were a few different sets between about 1908 and WW2, some with an automatic stropper as well.
Mine has a stropping attachment in the handle.
And I was very surprised to find that this is an EXCELLENT razor.
Well made, well balanced and a smooth yet extremely aggressive shaver.
It takes the standard GEM blades and the blade holder pivots out.
The blade is held against the stops by a sprung clip.
