I walked past an antiques shop today and popped in as I had time to kill.
There I saw an Ever-Ready Streamline set in a locked cabinet.
In pretty good nick with the original strop. I couldn't see the price on the label though.
So I inquired. The seller handed me the set for inspection. The label said £25.
I must have frowned a bit (as I do in these situations) and the seller dropped down to £20.
I accepted. Not a bad deal I dare say.

It's really minty, with only a bit of plate loss on two spots on the thickest portion of the bullet tip. If you look close you can see it in the first photo...and the other spot on the exact opposite side which leads me to believe it may have just rubbed off over the years rubbing in the case. Only one small blemish on the cap, otherwise looks like it was not shaved with much if at all. I really like the cardboard blade insert with instructions to use the guiding eye!
I know to some this would be a collection piece, but unless anyone can convince me otherwise...I intend on shaving with it.
Beautiful.. By the way around here the answer is always " Shave with it"!!!
Happy shaves to ya!

Two more razors I picked up on a UK Forum:
A GEM G-Bar and a Micromatic Bullet-tip.
I took them to London for a photoshoot:
The Micromatic attracted some attention:
