Help identifying three old DE razors

[Brian44t]

Hi - fairly new to Badger and Blade and I need help identifying some razors I obtained in a package deal locally. The one in the middle I believe to be a fat handled Tech. The other two are open comb - the one on the left has a silver head and two positioning lugs. My collection is only for razors that I will use and I doubt I would use these, I do not know how to safely clean them. Are they gold plated?

So, what are they?

Thanks,
Brian

Not sure, but the one on the left looks like an Old and the one on the right looks like New. The left-sided one might be a Frankenrazor; not sure the handle belongs with the head. The handle could be a handle from a New placed onto the head of an Old type.

Real experts will be along really soon to help you a lot better than I can.

Thanks for the quick responses - I didn't actually offer them for sale...

Is it safe to use scrubbing bubbles and Flitz on them?

Scrubbing bubbles, yes.
Be cautious with any polishing done to gold. The plating is thin and will wear off easily.

edit: though from the look of the caps, the plating is gone already.

There is no reason you shouldn't clean those up and shave with them.

Oh, goodness, clean and use them...I love my fat-handled Tech. It may end up being my go-to razor. Scrubbing Bubbles for a few minutes, followed by a few minutes in alcohol and they should be just fine.

If you polish them, but gentle and use Maas or Flitz and don;t go crazy...plating is thin.
