Is it me or the British razors shaves better? Maybe is the difference the aluminum handle makes. I own two GEM Peerless and some ERs and lately i'm enjoying the shaves they give a lot! Or maybe i'm passing through some phase...

I think I have an un-used cased, Made in England, Gem Peerless with Corrux blades, which I picked up for a song. A rarity or oddity. One day I should post some pics of my SEs and injectors.

Hi. Just read about your trade, late over here so no photo handy.Your set is in fact correctly called a “ Bathroom Set “.The Peerless has an aluminium Art Deco Handle which is hexagonal. They both Shave really well. Will try and dig mine out. Regards to all-Mike B

They both Shave really well. Will try and dig mine out. Regards to all-Mike B Thank you for the info. My case appears to be a "Peerless" case. The Bathroom Set did not have a clear plastic top. Then I found a hexagonal handle one in the same EverReady Bathroom Set. Maybe they were marketed interchangeably.

These are my Peerless sets (GEM). Hexagonal handle different from the 1912 Art Deco and the Bathroom Set (Cylindrical with knurled rings).

Hi Sorry that earlier I said the hexagon handle on the Peerless was Art -Deco it is much better described as chain-mail. Regret size of photo I am not good on image sites. Dug out remnants of my Ever Ready 1912 collection this morning. Back Row- Left to Right De Luxe Set [ steel handle], Peerless in Orig box, Peerless in full box, both with Alu handles. Front Row Bathroom sets in full closing boxes, note two different styles of aluminium handle.
