Dang Sammy1...you scored big!
Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.
- Thread starter BigFoot
- Start date
My very first DE, a SS Timeless .95 OC, smooth cap, Titanium handle.
Following up the previous poster with my much humbler acquisition, the sub-$3.00 Gillette Tech which arrived today. It's out of the packaging, loaded with the included Gillette Blue blade, and ready for tomorrow's shaving action.
Oddball no-name. Blade in it was ‘King Razor Corporation.’
The Henson Shaving Aluminum DE I ordered arrived today. 
The folks at Henson included 100 Astra SP blades in the box so that is the blade I loaded up for the first shave, which will be tomorrow.
Nice looking razor.
Stock handle for the first shave. Then I'll have to experiment.
Report to follow.

A Myatt with some kind of repair? on the handle (aluminum colored rings).
Not here yet, but I ordered Tatara Masamune...I reckon it will be here in first September week.
@romsitsa, you may be right. I have never seen this Myatt model. Just thought this looked interesting.

The Myatt Daymark (one of the several models) looks exactly the same, except the comb is branded. It took proprietary blades and iirc the head design was protected, so I don't think anyone would have made an exact copy.

I smell like a Christmas pudding
It looks like a Myatt Daymark, right down to the hexagonal pins. Mine had hexagonal holes on the baseplate and branding engraved on the underside. I found that by using a little force when tightening the handle, a regular DE blade would fit onto the hexagonal pins without blade modification. I found it a smooth shaver but rather mild.
Picked up the Charcoal Goods SS LvL 2. Not sure yet if this is the handle I'll be using with it all the time yet. Will have to see. Got a great shave with it this morning!
Mail call! Traveling? Pack light!
New to me Fatip Lo Storto. I think it may become my daily and I do not say that lightly.
It’s been a year or so, since I acquired a new Safety Razor, but this was too good to pass up. Found this Gillette New Improved deluxe Traveler set in nearly NOS condition at an online yard sale. It came with a tiny Gillette brush & mirror too! A really cool piece, I never expected to find it in the “wild!”
Wow staggeringly great condition. Congratulations.

Talk about a time capsule! Nice job, Matt!
YES! Scored a second blade bank in this 1920s art deco version. This one in even better shape than my other one. The cutest little thing. Now I don’t need any more 
Received this Gillette Fatboy '59 on Saturday. Great razor.
