Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

[spacetiger110]

Seems like I'm starting to come down with some backwards, low-end, RAD. After yesterday's $4 AliExpress purchase, my wife sent me to DollarTree this morning. Was looking for the brush somebody posted either here or on Reddit, and came home with this little number instead.

Today I crossed off another razor from my wishlist: Gillette Chesterfield (1922).

I am incredibly fortunate to have acquired this stunning piece! A 1938 British Aristocrat. A blade had left some rust stains, 90% of which disappeared with some Dawn and gentle scrubbing. So I deduce it may have been used before? Then again, maybe not. It seemed brand new and produced stunning shaves this weekend.

My first Gem, a Featherweight - Blades from Connaughts are inbound.
And a Made in England 7 o‘clock with slightly crooked teeth. I didn’t find much on it but it should be a Flat bottom Tech?

Non of the tech models have teeth, although the baseplate does have similarities with the UK flat bottem tech's. These razors are actually from the "new" series. I have the Gillette version of the same razor.

There is a British open comb tech, but I think it's from the 1960s
