This is a beautiful and very efficient razor. Nuf said. 

   

There are actually a few more pictures in the July hauls thread and a few more of my thoughts on it.

Williams Wednesday's Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Bunny  B-400 by Tom
TNNSER V1 by Tom
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with Bunny B-400 Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER V1 Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks Jim,
 Yes its the only one i have seen, i was so lucky to pick up this set, it still has a few of the 
original GEM blades, although i have not tried a one in it. 
I do like this razor, it does have a tiny scratch on the top cap about 3mm long which is not bad for its age. I have no idea when this was made though, the case looks very Art Deco.
