some good hotels still have them...the Hotel Saskatchewan in Regina has one of the best in Canada....attached to the barber shop thats been there since the 20's

Hello AsylumGuido....on b&b chat tonight you were mentioned as the resident expert on old Gillettes....If I could impose on you to please help identifying this it would be great http://badgerandblade.com/vb/album.php?albumid=437 thanks...Rob

nothing beats the real stuff...better to be sure

Hey MK, that's it!!! Thanks so much. The other pic is a razor I picked up in another antique store for 3 bucks. I've used CLR on both of them but still a bit grimy....any cleaning suggestions? I can't wait to use them....thanks as always pal.

Quite often Italian supermarkets/grocery stores carry it in their personal grooming area. Worth a shot.

The Proraso Pre and Post cream is great....the smell and feel is a real wake up

Art of Shaving Lavender is very rich as well

Thanks for the info! the number on the piece with the comb edge doesnt match (pc39772) is that the patent number? Also, diamond vs flat...what is that in ref to? The identity of these two eludes me. (both posted on my profile) Thanks again to all who are helping with this mystery!!

This one has no manufacturer name but has the number: PC 39772 (9 is a bit worn so not sure)

Hey MK, Rob here.....I posted a pic on my profile of the razor i picked up...no numbers on it...I have one estimate at c1910-1925....any ideas? Thanks! roberto

sounds good...thanks for the help....perhaps not a bad deal at 20 bucks

unfortunately no numbers

Hey thanks! Any idea on year(s)?

I picked this up at an antique market and can't find the model/vintage. It is made in Canada....any help much appreciated!

You should be able to get Proraso products at any good Italian grocery market. You can also buy the Proraso line at Truefitt and Hill in the Scotia Bank tower at King and Bay....pricier though than the market.
