Hi guys,
I picked up a near mint Ever-Ready pat. 1912 Single Edge Razor as part of a Gentlemens Set on Ebay for a couple of quid. I would like to try it out using the "recommended" blades, GEM Single Edge, PTFE- Coated, Stainless Steel Blades. I do not want to purchase 200 from Ted Pella and was hoping someone might be willing to sell me a few just to try it out. I am hoping someone locally in Aus might have some.
Thanks, Sunbird
Sunbird,
If you don't mind waiting a week for the post to arrive from the UK, I am happy to give you fifty GEM PTFE coated stainless blades :)
If you would like me to do this, could you please PM me your address.
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ
Wow, that's a nice offer to make Russ. I passed up on purchasing a Gem razor (single edge razor anyway, may not be known as 'Gem') from an antique store because I thought that the blades were no longer available.
Sunbird you should take Russ up on this kind offer.

I have had the same problem. I have my grandfathers GEM but have been unable to get hold of decent blades without ordering in 100 from overseas. If your interested I wouldnt mind sharing some postage costs and buying some from Phatman with you.

PhatMan, PM sent.
I really enjoy my SE razors, in my opinion they don't feel far off from my straights and are better in a rush. My favorite is an Ever Ready 1914.
Ted Pella sells the blades and also has a more traditional carbon blade that has that carbon feel to it. The Stainless PTFE coated blades are really smooth and long lasting.
