This came in a lot of razors from the 30s and early 40s. While the handle is removable for travel it functions as a one piece, with the cap sliding away on a pivot to enable blade insert and removal. It's tightened with a thumbscrew.
No info in Waits though it may carry other branding.

Acquired in a lot this week, the Ericsson would date from c.1931 based upon its patent date. It thus predates the Grand Shave King in focusing its design on lather management, here with a plate design which allows for an Old Type geometry but allowing lather to more easily pass through.
It's a...
Last year an Israeli brush maker introduced his version of the Bevel, sold through the Square Root Pascal Etsy shop. With exposure indicated to be .9mm and gap .93mm the CM93 is certainly more aggressive but extremely smooth. As I'm clearing out much of my den the Square Root razor is a keeper...
Two razors share the Le Coq branding and an aggressive disposition, the well known caged head and the much lesser known solid bar.
Both razors feature extraordinary exposure but the similarity pretty much ends there.
The caged head adopts a near horizontal blade angle, the solid bar a more...
A 50 day setup while I'm in Cambodia and Vietnam. Stahly/Bic for the beard, Enders Speed/Proline for my head.
I actually brought a few other DEs along, the Dart, Fine Marvel, Schone to name names but after a few days I realized I'm just happier using the Stahly than the others. It isn't...
I recently acquired this Fata (possibly FATA) three piece . Beautiful silver plate, 55g. A three hole design with geometry similar to Gillette Long Comb but its construction is unique.
Any fans of the Skagen or other hybrid watches? At $67-$122 on sale I'm pretty impressed with the look and specs. I need a travel watch for little $ and don't think I really need all the stuff that full Android Wear brings to the table.

King C. Gillette spent the last three or so years of his life at the ranch home he had built in the rolling hills of Calabasas west of Los Angeles. Designed by Walter Neff, it was for Gillette a retreat reflecting his greater interest in philosophy and horses than in industry at that stage of...
My acquisitions/SOTD hiatus was interrupted by a gift of this obscure Japanese Bon pocket razor. It came with a 1957 blue blade installed so I can only guess it dates from the first post war decade, it precisely resembles the myriad European pocket razors of the 40s and shaves like an Old Type...
My friend @Belfont received this beautiful Apollo (c.1910) on my behalf. I wonder if anyone has figured out a way to use one without the proprietary blade. I don't usually buy razors just to look at but I thought this was a beauty. Very little information to be had.

When I acquired a beautiful Hoffritz slant razor I ran into a complete brick wall in trying to determine its vintage due to the lack of serial numbers and paucity of reliable information online. Dovo, which owns Merkur, seems to have published nothing which would help the Merkur collector...
My Rolls Razor arrived today, all in all in beautiful shape... except I can't slide the blade (1939 date) onto the onto the fixed handle. Should the handle with the ball, which I have, be paired with a blade with some detent on the spline which receives the ball on the handle?? Is the ball is...
