Okay, I realize now that my attempt to purchase a 1912 open comb aka De Luxe was foolhardy. I am hoping that this request will be more attainable. If you have a cased Ever Ready Jewel that you are willing to part with. Please pm me.
Kind regards,

Ok silly question what is a Jewel? Like the Feather weight or something? Fuzzy Sorry, I think it's the Ever Ready Streamline and Gem Jewel, I could be wrong there to but I like the looks of the razor. Reminds me of a beefed up 1912. I passed on one here Ebay (Item number: 220566499842) bad on me. Kind regards, |

That ebay one (jewel?) in the case went for a real nice price too. Don't feel bad though, I know how this works for me at least. When you look at the completed auction, it looks like it went only for about twenty bucks. So you think you missed out. But, if I had of decided to bid on it, the bone head that got it would have been some retired bank executive and that particular one was exactly like his dad's razor or some darn thing, so he would have capped his bid at like 100.00 and I would have got scr*wed anyhoo! No razor, a few extra stress lines.
Good luck with your hunt!! I have one, but only the one and no case or anything. I need to keep that one 'in stock'. I really like these razors as well, the look is great. Personally, I use mine very little because I find these razors sort of bulky and unresponsive. All that metal makes for an unwieldy razor. It sure is perty though. YMMV
Somebody sell this man a razor!!!

The Jewel is worth hunting out - I've got one and love it. It is heavy, but it gives me great shaves, and I find it very responsive - I guess YMMV is true! Good luck finding out - it is worth it.
