Got me a Damaskeene

Just received this - Gem razor

I pretty much have my RAD under control, but I've read here that the Damaskene is the class of the field. Although the vendor doesn't mention the name, I was fairly sure that's what it was.

It arrived this morning, and with eager fingers flipped up the top plate to find the magic word :001_smile Just put a fresh blade in for tomorrow's shave.
 
nice and clean too

It is missing a blade case, but you're right, the razor and case are inexcellent order... may just post an SOTD pic tomorrow (first time in ages)
 
The Damaskeene is a great shaver! I shave with SE razors 99% of the time, and the Damaskeene is my favorite of the 1912 type from Gem, Ever Ready, Star, etc. Now, if you want the ultimate in SE shaving, look for one of the 1900/1901 Gem Jr lather catchers (the ones with the bar that lowers over the blade). If you prefer SE razors, you'll really want to try one of these!
