Just picked these up outside of Calgary. A Valet Autostrop in the original bakelite cases with strop and blade holder. The strop has a small tear, but I also got two other Gillette blade holders filled with Autostrop blades, double edge blades, and a box with two Ever Ready SE blades.

Got this one today.



zero plating loss on the razor. 2 Gem NOS blades, and 4 NOS PAL blades. $16. This is my first GEM razor.
 
Swish!

... and as your first GEM razor, you must shave with it next and cherish it hereafter.

This one is YOURS.

Hey pjgh, thank you for the kind words.

i'll be shaving with it later today before i take the wife to dinner. I can't wait!!

i put a blade in there to see the blade exposure, and it looks nice.
 
I used the GEM with a PAL blade. It must be borderline criminal how easy it is to get a shave with this razor.

I love it!
