A couple of months ago, @EldrormR@sub.wetshaving.social loaned me some GEM razors including a beautiful Ever-Ready Streamline. His was in a plastic (or maybe bakelite?) case. “Streamline” has become the vernacular for referencing any of the various razors that look like a “Streamline”. They come in various packaging, which differentiates them for collectors.

Anyway, I fell in love and started to casually keep an eye out for one. They are notoriously hard to come by, especially in the USA. Nevertheless, one fell in my lap! A nice one, too!

Specifically, the one I got is called an Ever-Ready Jewel because it comes in a metal case, and although mine doesn’t have the “paperwork”, these metal cases came with an insert that called it “Jewel”.

Most of these have purple felt inside the case. The one I got has red felt.
