Calling All Shave-Historians And Detectives:
A few weeks back, that I picked up, very cheaply, a group of three un-related, old razors for the purpose of practising cleaning/polishing techniques and such. I mentioned in a thread that this razor and case were among those three. The seller was upfront enough to say he knew next to nothing about razors, vintage or otherwise, but that one was in a bakelite "Ever-Ready" case.
I don't know much about Ever-Ready razors either, but most of the razors by that brand that I have seen don't look much like this. They look more ornate and esoteric like some Edwardian curio rather than a DER by "today's" designs.
No maker's marks, or alpha-numeric markings of any kind are on the razor, other than "BRITISH MADE", which is stamped on the bottom of one piece.
So, can anyone say for sure if this is or isn't an Ever-Ready razor? ... make? model? year? tips on identification etc.? If you have insights/knowledge/pointers please feel free to post them here.
Cheers, & thanks,
UH/John
