GEM #41 Pushbutton NOS

[Cartier]

Hey all!

I am not a single edge kind of guy. Well.... maybe I am? I haven't used one yet. However, I was out and about and found this Gem pushbutton brand new in its case. I just thought I would post some pictures for everyone to see. Enjoy.

Nice find! You should try it at least once.

I just scored a used Gem push-button a while back with the case blade bank and instructions. The Gem push-button is a smooth mild shaver I hope you enjoy it!

Are you going to break it in?

Great find and a great Razor.

I don't know. Do we admire at it never being used or do I ruin the newness and use it?

Lovely!

Use it. Of course once you experience the greatness of the single edge side of shaving, all your DEs will be rendered obsolete.

If you are a collector and if you want to sell it as NOS it will effect the value considerably.

I do like collecting razors although I could by no means be considered a collector. I am still not sure how I feel about SE razors. I'd definitely like to bust my chops on a non-NOS SE.

I think I might sell it here soon. Best to just admire for now.

The thing I think though is you don't know 100% it is NOS, and if you used it no-one would know . If you were that sort of person .
I say give it a try with new blades and sell as mint if you don't like it.
I wouldn't pay extra for NOS if the box is open, not sure if others would.
Just my 2p.
