The razor looks very familiar. I had one arrive this morning!
You guys just need the forks to match.
Have fun! I hope you enjoy it.

Looks like a British 1912 with chainlink handle. Made in the 1930s probably.£9.99 charity shop purchase. A nice Ever Ready (I presume a 1912) with I think a Grecian handle which is in exceptional condition and looks to have been renovated and replated. Small chunk missing from the Bakelite box, but hey you can't have everything.

Under a tenner with the box is a good price.
It's not been renovated or replated. That's what they look like after a good clean.
Wonderful razors. I used one yesterday.
Farina - very nice!
Awesome. I look forward to your SOTDs with this and seeing how you get on with it.Hello friend!
Now just to go through the blades that I have and see what works best in it.
The finish on this is brilliant. A fantastically well made bit of kit.

Every man has that one razor they really want to own. I've got mine early on in my shaving jurney but I'm sure it'll give me years and years of service.The Holy Grail!!!
Lovely! I hope you really enjoy it.
Cool! You're in for a treat @Dazednconfused ... if you find those PAL blades a little raw (the ones I bought from eBay recently do indeed make for a brisk shave) don't write the whole thing off, but try some of the stainless GEM/Personna brand.
...'nuff said! (other than I'm posting 'Angry' emoticon on all posts that post a like or make positive comments on your Rex Ambarsedor that you clearly only got in order to wind me up!) ...now definitely 'nuff saidHello friend!

Yes, I'm really excited about using it and I'm using the PAL blades as,again, it was the quickest and cheapest way to get single edge blades. I want to start to develop a technique and then place an order with Connaught Shaving for the GEM Stainless blades.
Can't wait!
