I’m confused. Did some sell you a GEM with a fancy Gillette handle?

Are you sure that's not from an OLD? Is the brass threaded part removable?

That's AMAZING, I have the not quite as rare American Button Company Shell handle model.  Big Grin Big Grin Big Grin

You guys have never heard about this extremely rare razor?
Actually I make an adapter screw to fit razor and handle combinations like this together. The handle is from an unmentionable but the handle itself when put together with an SE head is perfectly kosher.

I've done that with ball end handles and Durham Duplex handles but they always seem too long so I take them off.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

I'm in Twelvefret! That is barring a disaster from my soon to be Lather Catcher Sunday shave. Tongue And, planning on a first shave with an actual Micromatic...just a little tease there! Big Grin

Houston, we have a problem. There is a bit missing from my new Streamline and it holds the blade in. I'm going with a Contour II instead. Dang!
