It's the Ever-ready E-bar, the English version of the US GEM G-bar only more aggressive, I have a back-up I'd be willing to loan out if you don't find anything you like so give me a shout if that happens.

I saw one of those in an antique shop in the Cotswolds a couple of weeks ago. At first glance I thought I'd bagged me a stahly (chubby handle to blame). Alas they wanted stahy prices (£50 although they would have come down to £45 for cash) and so I left it where it was.
I'm not completely won over by the looks, but if it had been a tenner (maybe even fifteen) I'd have had a dabble.
Good to know that the shave is good though - I'll bear that one in mind for the future.
UKRob said:I'm off to the Cotswolds for the week-end tomorrow so it's good to know there are shaving items to be had - but bad to know they expect to sell at that kind of price. My GEM Junior cost about US$25 including postage. I don't think a shaving implement can get much simpler than this and just like the Ever Ready 1912 they seem to get straight into the correct angle. Take my word for it and get one!!
