That is some real treasure right there - to own your Dad's razors as well as your Grandfather's razor is a real blessingHi,
It was 1976 and I was 15. Dad handed me his Pre-War Tech and his Rubberset brush and his wooden bowl of Yardley. I can't recall which blade, but he alternated between Schick and Gillette Platinum blades depending on which had the lower price the day he went to buy some. One brand called them Plus Platinum and the other Platinum Plus and I cant recall which brand used what name now.
Now, I have this here pic I took of my family heirloom razors. You can see the Pre-War Tech here along with Dad's SuperSpeed and Post-War Tech. That is the Rubberset brush. No more Yardley, but after that disappeared with the Rexall drug stores from New York State he switched to Old Spice. You see two of those here. I wound up with all of his remaining stuff after he passed away in 1995.
The Old Type was my Grandfather's which I wound up with after he passed away in 1979.
Anyway, if you eyeball the Pre-War Tech and that brush and mentally substitute some Yardley for the Old Spice, we have it.
Stan
