Just got a call, the Gem set that was won on Superbowl Sunday has been delivered. It is a cased Jewel/Stropper combo complete with all the blade cases, etc. It had to come from Australia, so it took a while to get here. I will get some pics and post them as soon as I can this weekend.

WoW cool!!
I recently snared this on UK ebay for about $36 (including shipping to the US). It arrived about a week ago and I am in love. It's enough to make me de-lurk...
One thing I have noticed is that every other SE razor I have has some side-to-side play in the blade when the top is open. Not so here, the fit is precise.

WoW sweet another GEM so cool! Cheers mate!!
Early versions were a different head design. They had a notch on the spine of the razor where the blade spring was inserted, and the blade bed had two large lather holes similar to the Micromatic Cog pruf design. Later models had a solid spine; the lather holes were made smaller on the blade bed and also added to each concave groove on the tooth comb. Check out ShavinBacon's excellent Streamline comparison thread.

So by all accounts, I have a OLD model, now I'm on the hunt for a NEW model
That should not prove to be a difficult task as your country is literally swimming in those things...
Here's mine. This is my favorite SE razor. Looks and performs great. In fact, I used it today.
Here's an ad to share. I fell like an Admiral fo sho.

Yeah I have only seen UK sellers, some of them ask silly prices, as with nicely boxed Damaskeene's
altho still hard to find and all in very good condition, but most of the time the leather strop is missing,
Thanks Shanman, that was a great post. Can't believe I missed it the first time around.
I currently own 4 but have 2 going out to some fellow members here if I ever get my act together (sorry guys...been a rough year). As much as I love my Darwin Deluxe DE, I have to admit that this is hands down my favorite razor and my go to razor at least 75% of the time. It just works for me it's so efficient. The set I own with the stropper I don't believe was used before me. I took the plastic off the strop as it was thin and falling off anyway but the strop has never been used. Just beautiful razors. The thread Shanman linked to has copies of the instructions that came with mine as well.
