The "Not Gillette" Vintage DE Thread

[Northstonehill]

Wanted to share these 2 Kirby additions in this thread also... Together they really show the delicate art deco designs of the 1930s. And fine mild shavers to boot!

Your Kirbys motivated me to finally build a new shelf for the display, which would allow to regroup the Kirbys, so last night I built it and modified the whole case. Now it's 99% Leresche production in there :

It arrived, congrats Claudio!!!! And I like your understatement “a pair of Schick DE’s”. Wonderful scores of scores, how many of these are known to exist in the world - a couple? 3?

Thanks Peter. I can tell you that its journey gave me some grey hairs but it got here on the last day before our lockdown.
Known examples??? - No idea but you can count on one hand.

Wow! Didn’t know one of those even existed. Now I have to be looking out for one of those. Have Three different Schick Krona’s or pre Krona’s. Great razors!

Razor envy here - but you really deserve it Claudio, you now officially own the world’s greatest collection of adjustables

Thanks a lot Peter - still too many missing and those are the difficult ones.
Humbly said by a man with the greatest Aristocrat collection and an awesome collection of Darwins.

Slide back up to post #1318 in this thread and check out the Star DE - it's the razor that the Tech wants to be when it grows up. They are fairly plentiful and inexpensive on ebay.
