    Not too long ago, I was lucky enough to win three (3!!!) Ever Ready razors! I just received a MMOC, and I'm completely infatuated with these razors. I'd like to spread the love, so I'm offering up my very first SE. Open world wide, I'll pick a winner at random on September first. Only two stipulations:
    1. I'd like this to go to someone who hasn't tried a single edge. (Injectors excluded)
    2. Tell me where you first saw this style razor. (I have a nickname for them based on my first sighting. Bonus entries to anyone who names the source.)
    I guess it's time to show what you're playing for:

    Really impressive razor, you have to wonder about the razors today will they be here 100 years from now. To me it looks like a shovel on a earth moving machine. First time I saw this was on one of these forums. 74 years and never saw one in person. If I win give it to a younger person, I have 300 de blades and it will be a race against time to use them up. Dustmite I really enjoy reading all these comments keeps me going. tapatalk_1500691959765.jpeg

    That's sweet. Unfortunately I have already fell down the Injector/SE rabbit hole. I saw/bought my first SE in the wild at a antique shop by the name of Glory Days. So...... Not In.

    Wow nice razor ...
    first time I saw one was years ago at a antique market not really knowing what it was until I had a closer look.
    I have never tried one.

    That's a good looking razor, cased, with a blade bank! ;)
    I tried Gem type SE's, just couldn't make it work for me.
    Good luck entrants!

    This is a very generous PIF and a great way to get a newbie hooked on SE shaving.

    I have quite a few SE razors already and I'm glad I fell down that rabbit hole. I find SEs to be superior to DE shaving.

    Great PIF. Few months into wet shaving and 1st time I seen a Gem was probably on Reddit. Until recently I thought SE razors were cheating. But like they say it is your face......so why the interest. Few days back I tried an injector I got in a DE lot. The shave was very smooth and enjoyable. Next logical step is a SE. Problem is that unlike a vintage Gillette there are allot of newer options. I think it is tougher to find a SE than a DE to start with. I have read great things about the Gem style with doing my homework.

    Again, great to see members giving back.
