WEll done!
Canadian single ring. I have no idea how to date these from Canada but I've heard they are awesome shavers! The box is in pretty bad shape but I'm not complaining!

NOS 1971 R2 Gillette Super Adjustable Short Handle

Stunning!
Not bad-looking at all! I think an adjustable will be my final safety razor acquisition, but I'm torn between a Gillette, a Merkur Progress, and a Parker Variant.NOS 1971 R2 Gillette Super Adjustable Short Handle

Thank you
I've never tried a Progress but have a Futur, Variant and Fatboy in the collection. Between them I find myself reaching for the Fatboy most often. The other two are both beautiful razors but IMO not without their issues. I have a heavy hand and continue to struggle to "let the razor" do the work and with the Futur & Variant being fairly weighty I usually end up nicking myself. They also have fairly big heads making it a little tricky to get under the nose.
Very nice , I'm jealous .That serial # is a low E seriesBusy as a bee, gents... but here you have one of my latest acquisitions... BRIT. PAT. SR, no arrow, German vendor... very nice...

Thanks, Glenn.
It is low indeed, in fact it will make #2 in B&B list.. Best is I wasn't able to figure the number out until today, when it was delivered!
As if I need another razor..... just couldn't pass ,[emoji16]

At least you have a week to return it if you're unable to observe the terms of the License! (I wonder why they would capitalize License, Limited License, and Patent?)
Not bad. As I understand it, MTO sells a lighter version of the Weishi 9306, but I can't verify that. Does it at least come with sharper blades than the Van der Hagen rebrand?As if I need another razor..... just couldn't pass ,[emoji16]

I’ve been looking around for a Gillette Slim recently and purchased one from a store on Etsy trading out of the States, which I am currently waiting on arriving here in the UK. It was a fare price at £37 considering I’ve seen them selling over here for £50/£60 ish.
So whilst waiting for it to arrive over the last couple of days I stumbled across a guy selling a “Vintage Wilkinson Sword Razor Set” (pictured below) and he wanted £60.
I thought it worth taking a chance politely pointing out he didn’t have a WS set, but that some one had stored an old Gillette Razor in a WS box. As this wasn’t technically a set I offered to take it off his hands for £15 plus postage [emoji51] and he happily sold it me.
It arrived tonight and I’ve cleaned it up ready for use tomorrow morning! My first vintage Gillette, appears to be 1963 (I3) at an absolute steal, which I’m really happy with. Looking forward to using it and here she is...
Now just waiting on the other one arriving that is in its original case.

An excellent deal!! This Slim Adjustable seems to be in perfect condition.
That old, wooden Wilkinson Sword case looks great too.

Thank you! Yes, it is a nice box, yet the tab is... separated from the lid... oh well...
