Greetings
I think much of the problem is that the manufacturers did not give names as such to most of their razors; they simply referred to their latest model as The New GEM, The New Ever Ready, The New Valet etc etc. and of course at the time this was a fact they were the 'New' model.
Collectors have given them names years after they have become obsolete some of these names utilise some of the publicity blurb from the razors box or wrapping or adverts from the period. It does become a bit of a bloody mess!
Regards Dick.

I have An Ever Ready razor similar to the Gem, which has no letter in the circle on the handle. I have seen on another forum a picture of the ER , with the original packing identifying it as An Ever Ready Natural Angle ?
Who really knows , I know that I can get a good shave with both the Gem & Ever Ready. A common name of HFT might be applicable to both versions, especially as the Plastic Handle version may also be called a Natural Angle .on some of instruction leaflets.

I believe the British ER manufacturer used the Natural Angle name. 'Only in Britain you say?'
