The "Not Gillette" Vintage DE Thread

Although I have craved some ladies, never thought I would crave a lady's razor. A Lady Pomco for me as well.
Well they are certainly interesting. Great score!
Very nice and very interesting. Those are the first I've seen. Thanks for posting.
This just arrived. A black Wardonia with wide posts so it takes modern blades. Needs a clean but it's in great condition. The case looks like new. This is the first black one I've ever seen so I assume they're thin on the ground.
I've got the men's like yours but I don't think mine came with Gillette blades.
Big congrats on both of them!!
I have a Sheffield the same as that Wardonia. Once you get a blade cut up a wee bit to fit, it shaves pretty well! 
This Wardonia takes modern blades without modification mate.
I don't understand why the Lady Pomco didn't take off. The design is both beautiful and (seemingly) highly functional.
I love the Pomco "ladies" slant. I mean, I really hate the handle design, and it's Zamak, so I try not to get too attached to it, but I have never used a tool that gets the little indentations to either side of my Adam's apple so smooth. It doesn't really do a great job on the rest of my face. The performance of the "slant" side is middling. But that curved side, for just that little patch... it's worth owning for that alone. [emoji3]
It's designed for armpits, so I suppose it makes sense why it works so well on my neck. X-D
Thats Awesome! Even better!
Seems I jumped the gun a bit there mate. This black Wardonia does indeed have the wide spaced posts but modern blades don't fit without snipping some bits off.
Hopefully it works out, it does give a nice shave.
Just picked up a FirmBlade. From the patent info it is a Birth year patent, 1953.
Which blade fits that beast? Looks scary.
I'm not sure yet. Some say a DE blade cut in half will work.
