3 Gillettes. What are they?

[Protocol]

I just won these on Ebay. I think the one on the right is a WW1 military issue. The one on the left is a ball end tech. But what is the one in the center?

 

[Protocol]

Hmm. doesn't seem to want to resolve the picture. I'll post later.

Anyway, it looks like an open comb Tech with a heavier handle.

From left to right: Tech with ball-end handle, NEW with common bar handle, Old Type. Nice snag and I hope they clean up nicely however at that price, maybe you don't care. All are nice shavers.

Thanks. How do they shave?

Ask, and ye shall receive! Oh, BTW, Saskatoon has always been on my list of places I need to go someday.

Left to right - Tech, NEW, Old Type.

I am a big fan of the Tech and NEW. Both of these are mild shavers. The NEW has a "cult" following at B&B. The old type is the most aggressive of the lot. Some love them, some are indifferent.

FWIW, I have used examples of the razors in this group. The NEW is my favorite followed closely by the Tech. I keep the old type for historical purposes.

Don't discount the Old Type as a shaver. If you can shave with the NEW, I don't think you'll have too much difficulty with the Old Type. Good luck!

I like the Old Type better than the NEW or the Tech.
The Old and the 40's Super Speed are my two most loved Gillette's.
