A "Titanic Artifacts" exhibition is currently running in New York. Has anyone seen it, and are there any razors on display? Seems to me that any number of these should have gone down with the ship in 1912, and should have survived under water. I wonder how much a Gillette Double Ring would fetch on ebay if it had been recovered from the wreck? At least 300 bucks, no?
Razors from the "Titanic"?

I have it on good evidence that there are razors on the Titanic

I dunno, last time I was down there I didn't see any. 
I do not recall if there are any razors or not. But they do have a intact dinner reciept, so if paper can survive I am sure a razor could. I saw the original display in Memphis 15 or so years ago. I can say this if you have the opportunity to go see the Titanic exhibit, it is well worth it.
I also have ate Dinner at the White Star Line ticket office wher the last passengers got on the Titanic, they have a nice display there as well.

I toured the exhibit in the Luxor last fall and there was one razor and several shaving brushes on display. The razor was labeled as being a Gillette; however it appeared to be a single edge rather than a DE. I don't know if Gillette made any like that or not.

I think one of them somehow ended up in Argentina. If I am not mistaken, a member of B&B ended up purchasing it.
Yes, they did! I picked one up on eBay a few weeks ago. Still haven't shaved with it, but I plan to.
I'm LMAO. that's my wife all time favorite movie. I can't send her the pic. I shouldn't. That would be wrong. Phil! If I'm in ER tomorrow it's your fault!!
Dang, what kind of blades does that use? You would have to lather up with a kitchen mop.

I visited the Titanic artifacts museum as it came through the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. They did not have any razors there, but there was a Gillette Blue razor wrapper. Great condition, considering what it went through...
Well there was at least one double ring on there. Wow... what a collectible that is....

The exhibit was here in Milwaukee once, but I didn't notice any razors. There were lots of other cool things though.
