ULTRACOOL. That is one gorgeous razor Well done, Juan Manuel
Looking at the razor blades still made today we basically have the Gillette DE blade, the GEM, the Schick injector and the Valet compatible blades from Kai and Feather. Add in the KAI / Feather shavette blades and the Personna shavette / hair trimmer blade and that is about it. Looking over the number of blade designs no longer available based on B&B posts and looking through the Razor Compendium I would guess that only 5% or so of blade designs were successful enough to stay in production till today. Only three are commonly available at retail so far as I know, DE, Gem and Schick injector.
But it's J4 bubba!
Sorry.. didn't know... I was just specifying that the I means 1963...
The conversation went screwy, no biggie ruddy boe.
I went to the NW Antique Show at the Expo Center for the first time...HUGE! A few minutes after arriving I discovered I was apparently trailing @*Terence* thus most of the day was hearing, "someone was here before you."
Somehow managed to find a few things later in the day...sorry about the Toggle Terence...and the razors mama was "holding" for you.
Terence, did you score anything after I left, perhaps that Rubberset 400?

The Currier and Ives bowl looks fantastic! Is there soap in it?

Indeed, it is Williams. It's from the 40s, I believe. I have one as well.Thank you, I will be sending it to Cap at some point because the adjuster dial clicks but is not adjusting. The plating is very nice.
There is about 1/4 of the soap remaining, which the label says is "By Williams."
