), so I hope not to be posting anything in here for quite a while. 
While toodling around Tasmania on holidays, I spent some time fossicking around antique shops
Found the following (going to break post up because ipad keeps refreshing page -_-):
Ever-Ready 1912, mint condition. Got so excited I went ahead and bought some se blades off eBay in the hopes they would beat me home so I can have a shave as soon as I get back

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]Twinplex blade sharpener; same as the Kriss Kross
[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]So stoked that they both work perfectly[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]This broken Uni Invicta, couldn't say no for the price and I love blade engraving. Maybe I'll use this one for resin encasement, I think it'd make an excellent paper weight[/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961)]And this pretty little French number, judging from the shape of the blade, can kind of make out some engraving on the handle, will be able to tell more after cleaning it up [/COLOR]

I know! Tassie appears to be an excellent untapped resource
I'm looking forward to coming back and checking out the towns around Launceston next time
Also found a mint packet of valet blades
Just got into the hobby, but I've fallen in love with it. I decided to scope out some of the local antique stores to see what I could find. Here's what I stumbled on:

View attachment 714583
Still haven't figured out how to keep the photos from rotating when I try to post them, but up top is a Gillette Slim Adjustable, and below it is, I believe, an Ever-Ready 1912 patent, but I think it could be a 1914.
They're both in rough cosmetic shape, but perform all of the mechanical functions properly. Thus, I've just sent them off to Delta Echo Razor Works for a refinish. The ER will be done in a classy Black/Rose Gold color scheme, and I decided to have some fun with the Slim and go for a Clemson University (current student) color scheme of white with orange and purple accents
