Thank you for the pictures. I hope some day to run across one of these gorgeous razors. Next to the lather catchers, this is best looking razor out there.

Oops...Woke up this morning and seen there was a pristine cased GEM Jewel on eBay for a very low price and BIN. Couldn't pass it up, so now I have two Jewels. (Will post pics of the new one when it arrives.) It's just like the one I posted. White clam shell case. Oops? Really? Oops? Some guys get all the luck. Enjoy & thanks for sharing the pictures.

I have 2 GEM Jewels on the way to me now. The first one is a very used/brassed uncased razor. It doesn't look as pretty as a lot of my Jewel/Streamlines. I bought it to be my daily shaver. I think I can retire my Streamline I have been using back to it's case. My thoughts are that I will still be able to get the same great shave I have been getting, and not put any wear on an almost pristine razor that I can keep cased. (I can't get enough of the great shaves I get with these beauties!) The second Jewel is a rather rare item. It's a stropper set minus the actual leather strop. If you've seen the Ever-Ready stropper sets in the white case, then you will know what this one looks like. The only difference is that it says GEM on the case, (and the razor and stropper both are stamped GEM). I've never seen one like it, so of course I had to have it. The case itself has a little damage, (One of the blade cases is not there, and there is a tiny hairline crack on the backside.), but, I couldn't pass this one up. I will try to get some pictures up when they arrive.

Wow they sure look great. The Jewel/Streamline is one of the few razors I need to get but they are going for crazy prices $$$. Though these two are similar the Jewel seems to be a better choice only because I assume they are a bit harder to find and those clam shells are nice. Indeed you have a great collection growing.

Very, very nice catches. I think I should break out one really soon with a shave to honor your new score.
