The gold one, is that a Gillette?
In picture 2 im think I will get number 1 and 4 from left, they are techs right? Are they equally aggresive?
The gold one looks like a Gillette New.
You are right on the Techs. You have to look more closely to ID them. Pre-war 1939-194Os Tech are more aggressive than the later ones. The Tech on the right looks like a later one with the aluminum handle.

The gold one, a Gillette NEW LC, is a very good razor. Depending on price, I would certainly buy that one.

The gold one is about 15$
It looks like the teeth are straight. I would buy it if I was there. Take it apart & soak it in hot water (not boiling) & Dawn for several hours then scrub it with a toothbrush. Repeat the soaking with Dawn & hot water for overnight. Scrub with a toothbrush again. Then the fun part, use it!
Nice razors!! Definitely worth considering the lot IMO!

Just a gentle metal cleaner/polish such as Flitz, you can get it a auto parts stores or hardware stores. Use a microfiber cloth with it.

Any polish will strip the gold plating. If you want to keep the gold intact, soak it in some dishwashing liquid for an hour, then scrub it with a toothbrush, rinse, enjoy.
If you want to shine it up, use any polishof your choice.
Congrats, nice razor in nice condition.

Hard to be sure just from the photos, though. The aluminum and die-cast parts should go together, and the plated brass parts should go together.
Don't sleep on the Slim Twist (second from left). I have one and have found it be a surprisingly good and nimble shaver. Aggression level is perfect for me; no too mild and not too harsh.
I, too, have no idea what the third from the left is, but I find it intriguing.
