1921 Gillette Bulldog, with smoky patina.

Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good...

1906 SR. The cap has sharp corners. The knob still has strong knurling too. I need to clean it up still.
It’s not my oldest, but has the potential to be incredibly nice.

Todd & David - what fine old timers. Look forward to the ‘after’ pics

After promising myself no acquisitions this year I fell off the wagon twice this week but I must say I’m pumped by these razors.... third generation British Aristocrat, quite a bit of plating loss but had to have this to complete the set of all four generations.

And a complete Big Fellow New Improved set. Hoping this is similar to the tuckaway version I love the shave that gives. It’s in excellent condition and was a truly superb price. Wanted one for ages.

Looking forward to taking both for a shave.

Sorry about the picture quality it’s raining so continually here that it’s difficult to differentiate between night and day.

The inside of the Aristocrat box is very worn unfortunately

Cornering the Brit Crat market!

Rob, Jake, Thomas - thanks. Well, rather than simplifying/reducing I decided to go the other way and add more sets

Just picked up these two last night on the bay. Nothing special, But one is my birth year razor (black handle). From what I read, they both should be on the smooth / low aggression side. Can't wait to give a try myself. [emoji846]

I've been reading alot about how well the Techs shave, so I thought I'd get one to try for myself... picked up this 1958 off of Ebay, and it arrived yesterday.

Wow, that looks stellar! That cap seems as if it's never been used. Beautiful find.

Thanks! Yes, I'm very pleased with the condition, it looks new. I think I got it for a decent deal considering the condition it's in.

Semi-worn Mulcuto. I have another of these with a partial bakelite head, and it is a wonderful shaver
