Ever Ready

[efsk]

Ever Ready should be known to all of us shaving folk, as they made some utterly fabulous Single Edge razors. More info will pop up later in this thread, I expect, or hope, actually, but just to pique your interest I'd like to show you my "New Chrome Strop Outfit". Comes with shipper (bottom part not intact anymore), a beautiful white Art Deco cassette, and contains a razor, a stropper, a leather strop, and two built in, hinged, bladecontainers. Utterly fablous state, if I may say so

Ever Ready Streamline made in England is probably the best of the vintage single edge razors. They are built like tanks and very beautiful. They shave slightly rougher than the 1912 that is was loosely based on, but very efficient shaver. I had one a while back but traded it for a Gillette Aristocrat Jr and a 1941 Ranger Tech.

I had the ambassador version, really nice looking and good shaver.

One I no longer own. Very loud razor: as if you amplify the sound of buttering toast.

That is the 1924 Shovelhead. Very good shaver.

Thanks to @gvw755 I now own another pretty little Ever-Ready. Case is missing the front flap, but who cares when you open it and find this lovely little wood-handled shaver!

Here is another very rare one. Look at the pattern on the back of the razor. The box has a rotating handle to close it.
Didn't have time to clean the razor. The Owner didn't wanna sell it, but after begging and mighty psychological harassment , he finally gave it up with. This also had an effect on my bank account.
This strategy worked for me and I am planning on using it on Richard to sell one of his Multiplexes and also his Razor six, if he still has it

Ever Ready 1909. Purchased this and a couple of days later won HR-1A(which got cancelled). I thought to myself 'What a lucky week!'

I tried to contact the seller for the HR-1. He never replied. That would've not just a lucky week, it would've been the deal of the century. I think someone got to him and offered him a deal he couldn't refuse. Sorry for your loss.
