Razor Id request

[redbike]

The middle razor in this auction looked interesting, and I looked through the Shavewiki but couldn't find a match. Can anyone identify it and provide some details?

Thanks,

Looks a bit like the Swee-do I had up in my B/S/T over the weekend - very similar - I picked it up recently, and couldn't find much info - look in the pics with all the Gillettes - the thread is here: http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...rout-DEs-SEs-Injectors-Something-For-Everyone!

Good luck!

+1 Swee-Dos take a special blade, but you can enlarge the opening in the center of a standard DE blade and use it although the round holes in the blade don't line up perfectly. I've done it.

Edit: See my next post below (#7) for a correction

Doug & Shave Cat,

Looks like a match, thanks. Have either of you shaved with one? Looked like hefty piece of metal.

No clue but it looks great!

I've taken a closer look, and although the handle looks like a Swee-Do, the head doesn't look like the Swee-Dos I've seen:



Note the bottom of the head. The Swee-Do doesn't have posts that extend all the way through. Since these handles fit most vintage razors, I can't tell what the razor in the original post actually is. BTW, the Swee-Do handle is hollow and not all that heavy.

Could be an Old Type head on a Swee-do handle. In a GEM case... quite the Franken-set.
