well today i was in a town that i dont usually go to and decided that i wanted to check out the local antique shops. my wife found all of these razors before i did first place we went to she found a red tip. i looked at it and asked what the lady wanted for it and she said $1 since i was in my military uniform. my wife was going to walk to the car to get a buck cuz i didnt have one and the lady said dont worry about so i got it for free. the last place we stopped at had a little razor section and i saw a little milady which got me excited. i looked at it and it had the made in england stamp on it. i looked up
mr-razors site before buying it cuz i wasnt sure about it. i also got a open comb new made in england that still had the little card board cut out that was put in the place of the blade when bought new.

i dont have pictures so for now ur gonna have to deal with it lol. pics pr it didnt happen... alex attacking me with spot... yotta yotta ill post some pics as soon i get home which will be tomorrow night ish. im gonna try to stop at a couple more antique stores tomorrow so maybe i will get to post a few more razors along with the english ones

ok FINALLY have pictures to post. after looking at the milady again i think i have a franken razor. it only says "made in england" there isnt a gillette stamp on it. oh well i have a "made in usa" stamped OC bottom plate (correct for that time) i can put on it making it a usa made milady .
here is the before
