Mail Call.
Fresh from the postwoman and from Bulgaria. An Apollo Bakelite safety razor and an old Gillette no name clone. Bent teeth on the clone and it has seen a lot better times. The Apollo seems to be in reasonable condition for its age. The Apollo has Apollo and D.R.G.M. On the baseplate.

Sweet Apollo!

Sweet Apollo!

Thanks Adam, it was too good to let pass. It came off the usual website.

 

[romsitsa]

Fresh from the post, a Rotbart Nr. 15. Will be a long term project.

I usually don't buy them this dirty but for an Canadian NEW LC it's not hard to make an exception.

That looks like it will clean up well, Adam! Looking forward to the results!

Nice Long Comb! Congrats, and enjoy!

Thanks, it will be a one off, if everything goes as planned.

Mail Call,
An almost nude British Red Tip and another Tech. I saw them on the bay together and took the punt that it was a Red Tip. You couldn’t make it out in the photo from the seller. There is still a little Red paint in the grooves on the knob and inside the knob. The Tech has 4 U on the bottom of the base plate.

Those should both clean up nicely. Congrats, and enjoy them!

Another Mail Call,
All 3 came off the bay here in Australia. I didn’t realise what the mottled Gillette case was as the razor was shown put together. I believe I finally have myself a Goodwill. One of my grail razors. I nearly fell off the chair when I opened the package and saw what was inside. The Valet is in a cardboard box with its strap and the Gillette cardboard box had a 3 piece Clone old type in it. The razor just has British Made on the baseplate. Not a bad haul. I have a long way to go to catch up with Todd though.

Thanks, I see yours has the shim with it. Congratulations to you as well.

Thanks but the shim has nothing to do with this razor. It's from an French made razor.

 

[Lakeshirt]

Arrived today. M2 and R2 plates and Atlas handle.

 

[Gryffindor]

That is a serious handle. Nice! Enjoy them!
