SE Sunday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Musgo Real Jayaruh #266 Gem 1911 Lather Catcher Original Gem Cutlery SE CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Vegetal I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Musgo Real Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #266 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher Razor using a C.V. Heljestrand Wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Whoa!! What a find! Is that original packaging the razor is in still? Where'd you manage to score that one?
Regrettably it is not mine. Found by a chap on SE Forum who got it on the Bay, listed under Antiques. Came with cardboard Outer box/ Metal case and instructions. Not sure why the Razor was in a Plastic bag.
Just found the thread over on TOST. Beautiful piece! http://theoriginalsafety2.com/thread/1626/streamline-time?page=7

Sun 25th Mar RazoRock Syn.22mm Vitos Super Red 1. "igor" SE/Gem adj, Gem S/S [ 3 ] 2. ER "Streamline" Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Classic A/S lotion I am coming to the end of my loan of "Igor", and having lauded its performance up, decided to put it up against a Vintage SE. My obvious choice was an ER " Streamline" which is one of my favourites. I used the Streamline on my difficult RHS of face, and it is silent compared with "Igor" though more aggressive, and not rewarding of inattention . I did have a good Shaven on that side without mishap. As "Igor" is much lighter and more forgiving than the "Streamline", I find it quite manoeuvrable so the Shave on the remainder of the face was completed quite easily and comfortably. In terms of finished Shave quality both Razors provided a good close finish, though perhaps the ER cleared around the nostrils much better. I think "Igor " being less aggressive would suit the majority of SE users, whereas some find the "Streamline" a bit harsh.

I can't except some cats calling that a ladies razor.....My uncle used one of those back when they first came out! And in my whole life, til recently, I never heard them referred to like that. I think Eversharp placed maybe one ad like that to try and pick up some sales or broad-en their base...(pun intended ) I've always thought the G5 was a stand out razor in the looks department...Very Very Nice, and a Great Shaver too! A very desirable piece of kit! I hope you get many steller shaves with yours...Great pic, BTW!

Monday 26th March Stirling Syn. 26mm Stirling Baker Street Schick N3 Schick Twin [ 23-Japan] Tuff Green A/S Lotion Never expected a blade to last this long, yes I know others get a long usage , but still dealing well with my tough beard. A DFS too and feels like more to come. Must do an Inventory of them, though obviously they are appreciated in Japan as they are still in production though fairly pricey.
