Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

May not the same but definitely in the same ball park.

Anyone know what colour the red tip should be? Remember I'm in the UK and its a brit razor.​

ATT Calypso M2. Aluminum OC with mild head. Love the blue anodized base plate. Contrasts nicely with the black handle and cap. Workmanship same as the SS series.

Who is crazy enough to go hunting in a tropical storm, I am. In between rain bands somebody just as crazy was set up and selling. He had these for me. A 1930 Windsor ( I think? ) New Long Comb and a 1940 Milord Tech. Both are in great shape for there age and being found at the flea market in a tropical storm

Very nice find. The Windsor comes with 2 different base plates?

There's only one way to know...

Congrats!

so who got this just now? it had to be someone that recognized the razors that the seller did not oven highlight. two double rings. also a cased single ring, and a nice two tone aristocrat... plus some other decent razors. it was a 1 day auction but got too rich for me near the end.... and at the very end it really went up with a few serious snipers in the last few seconds.

even though i never got to bid on it, i was happy i spotted the razors and could watch it play out.

Heck...

 

[tylehman]

i will bet the seller was surprised in the interest, they did not seem the know anything about what would interest buyers on that one.

I'm probably wrong but looking at the handles, I don't think the Double Rings were made by Gillette. Anyone else think this?

 

[jmudrick]

I only see one. Looks Gillette-y to me.

Yup.. I've got a Double Ringer similar to these...

The OP said 2, that's what I was going by. I see one on the left and one on the right. The one on the right looks the closest but the spacing of the grooves on the knob doesn't look right to me. Look at the Single Ring, they should be the same. It may just be the picture. I don't know what they went for but I hope they're genuine for the buyers sake.

 

[Mlee]

Looking at it closer, the number of teeth are wrong also.
