Figured I would cross-post, because, you know....shiny stuff. 'Nuff said.

My father picked me up some razors from a flea market - whole lot for $53.

The SS is a V3, so I guess 1950. The FB is G1 1961. The Techs and OC don't have date codes. The Ball End has no cracks. Plating is pretty decent on all. The OCMM scares me .

The FB had a stuck adjuster, but it freed-up after soaking in Dawn. One of the doors on the SS needs adjusting (doesn't sit as flush/a little lazy).

Picked these up at an antique store today. An I 2 Gillette Slim adustable, an Old Spice shave mug. And a Gillette counter display case.

Thanks, gents. That case isn't easy to find -- this one actually had an older Aristocrat missing one end cap inside.

Just carefully cleaning the bottom, then reattaching the white hinge cover and gluing the headliner back.

Nice job Doug. I am looking for a nice Pre-War Fat Handle Tech case. These simply do not survive well. God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown

Thank you. It's been awhile since I've bought anything. I missed being on here.

The wife won this on eBay for me as a surprise. It'll be here tomorrow. So excited!

Funny, I don't know why, but I've been looking at the travel razors lately. Congrats!

Okay...'fess up. How many people, other than me, actually have tried shaving with the little-bitty handle on the Travel Tech?

 

[Zipslack]

Not a phrase you hear very often...or want to hear...

I've shaved quite a lot with mine, the handle gave me no trouble at all, but the head is much less of a joy to use than the pre-war Tech.

I saw one a while back but it had a huge chunk out of the side. I let it go. I also could think where I'd put it! Can't wait to see yours done up!

Kindly,
