Family heirloom score

[Porp]

So I'm down in Florida visiting family right now. My grandmother overhears me talking to my wife about safety razors and tells me she has one that belonged to my great grandfather and if she could find it, that I could have it. Well here is what she handed me, can't wait to clean it up and try it out! The blade case is full of NOS gillette blue blades.

"New and Improved!"

Family stuff is the absolute best. Make it a favorite just because...

Nice score! Props to grandma!

Nice looking Tech. The Bostonian/New Improved case, with the razor lifting mechanism, might be the coolest Gillette made.

Awesome!

What a wonderful gift. Congratulations Porp.

Thanks guys, I was very excited. I don't think this is the razor that originally came in this case based upon pics I've seen on the web. My grandmas boyfriend said he has a rolls razor and some straights that he will send me as well, can't wait to see those.

I agree.

I have a pair of my great-grandfather's pants! In fact they fit perfectly and I like the fabric and style, but they are in less than perfect condition. He died in 1937. Will I get them fixed? Still haven't decided.

Nice razor! Enjoy. Do you know much about your great grandfather?

Very nice. Nothing like an heirloom razor. You got yourself a real keeper there. Enjoy!

Nice!!! Always nice to get something that was once a family members I wish my grandfathers had kept their razors.
