Gem in the wild.
So, I got a call from up at the cottage that a tree had fallen on my boat during the ice storm the other day up here.
Took the time to hit all the little shops along the way.
Not a single straight to be had anywhere.
Got to Bobcageon, and the boats ok it seems. Big branch but no damage to the old girl!
Found these in a shop heading home.

$30 for both. Always wanted one of those hand trimmers for the dogs backsides,, :)
Keep the back door clear of hair between cuts.
Anyway, a bit of chainsaw work and the boat is cleared, these lil finds made the drive worthwhile as well.
Cheers.

Nice way to turn a bad day into a good good one :<0)

Mike, the little GEM is a winner. ""Talk about blade exposure""
Plastic coated GEM blades from razorblades and more or the Ted Pella are about two years of good shaves!

Mike, nice snag man. Both look very, very clean. The trimmers look great. I've seen many on my antique store journeys, but none as nice as this one.
I do have a comment about the GEM....
How certain are you that those are the right blades? If I had to say, I'd say they're not..... But, I'm not that knowledgeable with GEMs, I just don't want you bleeding to death on your bathroom floor.
Who's the GEM master here on SRP???

The gem are a SE blade. Geezers post will get you on the right track.

Sorry, these pics will be sideways.
The only blade I have for my gems that has a label on it. It's a labeled Gem blade with a single edge. The blade edge is up above the comb part of the razor......
I don't know.... I could be totally wrong here.
-
Yes, thanks Andrew. those double edges while in the case. were not for that razor, I just stuck it in for the pic. Would be a lethal shave with lots of blade flex,,,
Going to order some single edges just to try but will keep this in its case as from what I can gather its pretty old. Saw a similar one in the same case that said 1912 on it, so am delighted to find one in the wild still in such condition.
-
Ahhhhh, very good Mike. Ya that would've been an interesting shave! You find any good places to get blades? I've done some searching and have only found one store.
-
Checking out razorbladesandmore.com as Richard suggested. Not a lot on eBay for them.

Mike--You will find that the hair clipper probably won't cut your dog's hair but give it a try anyway. I bought one at a flea market for animal grooming and it didn't work at all on the house cat. This winter I took it apart, sharpened the cutter on my hard Arkansas, oiled it, and now it makes a wonderful clipper for my bushy eyebrows and side burns.
