Found my grandfather and great grandfathers razors, need some help identifying!

[Unkas]

Hello!

After a trip up to my grandmothers house this week I've returned home with a box containing some shaving stuff from my grandfather and great grandfather.
The box contained two straight razors, two double edge safety razors, a shaving mirror and a "Sirama" DE blade stropping machine.
Now I would've normally posted this in one of the razor forums but since it had both straights and DE's I figured I'd post here instead so I don't have to make two threads.
One of the DE's is a banged up blue tip Super Speed, that I know for sure and I wonder if anyone knows how to disassemble it so I can maybe repair it.
The other DE is an old open comb without any indications of who made it but you'll see it in the pictures below.
The straights are both unidentified to me, one has seemingly home made wooden one piece scales and the blade has no tang at all so I believe it is very old and the only marking on it is a stamp that says "FRANCE". The other straight razor is dirty and in pretty bad condition but can probably be fixed up and the markings on it say: "W" something I think at the top and under that I can make out "HAWKGLE" and "FFIEL" so it probably said something like "HAWKGLEN" "SHEFFIELD". Both straights are wedges.

Here are a couple of pictures!

WOW that is special I have my Grandfathers Gem's and I love to use them.

Here's another one of the open comb as I reached the maximum amount of attachments!
I am really curious to what it is as it seems like something pretty old since the teeth are "stamped out" at a bit irregular depth so to say so it doesn't look like modern machinery did it.

Wish I could help with the IDs. They all deserve a special place in your shave den. And I with some restoration love you could get them back in action and looking good.

Great news! I managed to put the blue tip Super Speed back together so it is working properly! The silo doors close a bit uneven however and the TTO mechanism seems to occasionally jam up though. Perfectly usable however and will clean it up and shave with it soon!

If the TTO get jammed time to clean that gunk out probably just some hot water and soap and leave it to soap for a while, occassionally giving it a twist. Or some scrubbing bubbles
That'll free up all the soap scum and crap stopping the TTO mechanism

That France straight I'd take a lot of care of, thats super old. Since it doesn't have a tail I think ages it before 1850 but definitely one of the oldest straights I've seen

I don't think that the TTO is jammed because of soap gunk but it wouldn't hurt to clean it out so I'll give it a shot.

The open comb was identified as a German travel razor and I do trust that identification as I found out that the handle screwed in two parts.
Now I just need to get the straights identified/dated!

Great haul and even better that it's got family history attached, I've got razors that belonged to not only to my grandfather but to my great grandfather as well and I would never part with them and plan to pass them along to my nephew when he's old enough.
It may be redundant but post the questions regarding the Blue Tip on the DE forum as there are a number of fellows there that can point you in the right direction on repair.
It does look like the safety bar took a bit of a hit and looks bent out of shape,it should be repairable but it might be a bit more Red Tip-ish so be careful.

Makes me wish I had my grandfathers' razors. Hopefully, a couple cousins do. I cannot remember whatever became of my father's Gillette adjustable TTO. It was the first razor I ever used. What you have are family heirlooms, IMO. Enjoy!

I managed to repair the Blue Tip. The silo door had managed to pop up above the safety bar on one side but while reading about how to repair it I was just being restless and screwing a bit on the knob at the bottom and I noticed the doors moved a little so I just gave it another twist and it popped right back and it looks unharmed!

Managed to clean up the German travel razor open comb really well so used it for todays shave and it gave a decently aggressive and very smooth and effective shave!

Will use the cleaned up and repaired blue tip for tomorrows shave I think.
