ID Gillette razor please

It is a bar-handled tech, I believe. And yes, they make great mild shavers.
Here's AsylumGuido's guide to identifying 3-piece Gillette razors.
The handle on this is hollow and lighter than that on a ball-end Tech. There was recently a thread describing two ways of making it heavier. One involved cutting lengths of solder and dropping them into the handle. The other was to pour lead shot in.

The Tech is probably the #1 recommended razor for new DE shavers. It is very smooth and with the right blade will give you an excellent shave. Your next step should be to get a blade sample pack here.

The second item is another Gillette Tech, aluminum handle, probably made in England with the square butt.
The third (Matador) is similar, but probably a great deal more aggressive.
The last item is a Schick "Knack" i believe, and many here like them. It is a Twist to Open design, rather than a three-piece design, making it a little easier to change blades.
I would suggest either of the techs or the knack. Choice of tech depends on whether you like the thicker or thinner handle, as both will be quite lightweight.

The last one is actually a Schick Krona. It is an awesome razor. Some do not like them, and I do not know why, but they have a cult following here.

I'm a Gillette guy, but the Schick Krona is an awesome shaver to be sure.
This is a Schick Krona - great under-rated shaver. I really like the long handle and balance.
Aha! I knew I recognized the first razor, your next pictures gave you away. I guess I am not the only one checking that swedish site. 
Yes, excellent razors. Although, the name "Krona" is an after market nickname for the razor. It was actually marketed as a Schick Double Edge and was usually packaged with Schick Krona Blades. I recently found a NOS gift set with "Krona" razor. Very nice.

You got me!
Hope we don't bid on the same items then...
