Ever-Ready 1914 Standard Outfit, with the satisfaction and 10 year frame guarantees.

So why is 'Ever-Ready' always in scare quotes?

I ‘do not’ know

My assumption is that’s how they made sure the reader knew it was the brand name instead of a colloquial use of the phrase.

I took a “pocket full of razors “ to a local thrift store where I’ve picked a few of my razors intending to swap a few I had duplicates of, but saw nothing new. The only one there I didn’t have, but had passed on before was a user grade 1924 Shovel Head. Thinking I could always take the head to brass if the plating was too bad, I asked, but he declined to do a trade right now because business had been slow. The look on his face and tone of his voice confirmed the truth so I asked if he’d be willing to swap the handle on it which was pretty rough for the Art Deco one off another Ever Ready, paid and left with an even heavier pocket full of razors...

Mail call! Unused, with the shipper.

Really cool that you have the original shipping box. Thanks for sharing the photos. I'm not familiar with the Enders razor. Since the shipping label has a zone designation instead of a Zip code, I'm guessing that the razor was bought before 1963, when Zip codes started. Also, the style of the razor is similar to Schick injectors of the 60s. Any ideas on the age?

1930 is when the patent was filed, 1931 it was published.

Thanks for the reply. A very advanced design for being that old.

NOS Schick Dial Adjustable - early version?

I will try it out tomorrow.

USPS just dropped of this nice little Type C3 Magazine Repeating razor. I didn’t expect to find one of these.

Fishing the wildwaters for razors, it seemed that the AutoStrops were biting!

These all were landed in the last couple months. I finally revived the strop today, then stropped and shaved with the vintage blade that came mounted in the razor that is assembled. A very decent CCS+ shave.

That one was a promotional item from The Philadelphia Enquirer. I wonder how much use, if any, it got. And how it got to Oregon.

From my youngest:

And Feather FHS blades included that should also work in my Valet AutoStrop VC2 and VC4!

Stick with it, don't give up after the first use. You may feel as though it ain't working. These have given me consistently BBS with no learning curve needed.

They eat feathers like crazy but it is still my holiday do not think and go to razor when I was careless and did hurt myself with something more agressive.

My first Kampfe. Modern GEM blade fits well with an extra GEM blade spine to increase the angle so that the blade sits firmly on the small blade stops.

USPS finally comes through.

 

[NoScrubs]

New addition.

Ran the trap line. Finally found a Schick I2 short handled black hydromagic. Extreme grunge, but cleaned up pretty well. It was loaded with a twin. Decent unbroken case, with lots of crazing in the styrene cover.
