The #15 is the pinnacle of Gillette imo. That's a beautiful example.
Nice haul on the German Bay
Thought I would give a new razor a spin...
Filling the gap in my Shake Sharp collection, a lovely gold Mk 2.0.

Very nice. I believe that's the first gold one that I've seen. I don’t find the shave to be a nice as the one with the Bakelite handle, how about you?
Just in, a Star model 100.
I prefer the Bakelite removable cap version (Mk1.0) but they're all great.

Congrats Jeff - a great shaver with a double DE blade! I had one of these and found it a great shaver, mild and troublefree. Never tried the bakelite handle version.

Even more clueless than you
Most find the Mk1.0 more aggressive, which I guess it is, perhaps due to the additional cap span. I only use the Mk1.0 with two blades and for me it beats my other Mk2.0 in every respect, especially in efficiency. i know other folks prefer the Mk2.0 and it is a great shaver and I"m blown away how nice this gold example looks.

Strong month, won this lot for 26.50
a Gibbs No. 14 - how do I prepare blades for it?
a Fat Handle Tech - could this be a flat bottom?
an Old Type with no obvious handle cracks and a Patent number on it
a Spiral Tech for giggles

Gibbs: two options, one is to use a sharp scissors and trim the ends of the blades so that it clears the posts on the Gibbs. Option two is to use a punch to recreate the configuration of the orginal blade. Requires a precise punch to get perfect alignment but can be done. There are threads and videos.

That razor next to the Gibbs is a flat bottom, my personal preference of the Tech line.
