I'd posted a while back that my mom, after seeing my collection, was going to try and get my grandfather's razor from my uncle for me. Not much was said about it after that and I didn't bring it up thinking that maybe it was a no go. Well on Christmas I found out differently. My present was my grandfather's razor and brushes. The razor is an old ball end Tech made in Canada. I'm going to eventually end up restoring both brushes. I dont' know either brand but one was made in Canada and the other says London, England. As well there were some blades and a box of Williams mug soap. There were Old Gillette and Wilkinson sword blades as well as an unkown blade. This was supposedly the razor my grandfather used while driving trains over in Europe during WWII so I think they may be from then. Also, don't know the vintage of the Williams soap. The razor had a crack in the top of the handle which my grandfather fixed with putty or silicon or something. Overall it cleaned up really well and today it was brought out of retirement. Since my grandfather was Italian I used Proraso Shave Cream and aftershave balm in his memory. Best Christmas gift ever.
