Same here. Mine is from 1975 and I recently received a case kindly provided by @mgweatherly to store mine in.
Looks nice your razor!

Guido
I have finally returned home and the first thing I did was unpacking the goodies that came a month ago.
The Hyper Aggressive Stirling looks really nice and I'm going to use it in my next shave. The Canadian Goodwill looks better than I expected. It's a nice addition to my US #160 and British made for France Goodwill.
The brush from Shave AP CO however isn't what I expected. It looks nice and the knot seems great too, but the size of the brush is way smaller than I expected. This is the second brush I buy and after I see it with my own eyes it just looks way smaller than I previously thought. Oh well.

Considering the obscene rarity I can’t even say if I got a deal or overpaid (auction image, haven‘t received yet). Already know the left is a German #34 but I don’t see a country of origin in the image for the one on the right so I’m suspecting a rare “I’ve never heard of it” German #5
Forgot to post this here from today’s mail call. 1946 ball end contract handle with a 1938-45 base plate and cap. Guessing an early production contract tech where Gillette was using up old stock base plates
So excited!!!!
NOS? This Segal is in perfect condition.
Gillette 'Pocket Edition' No. 502B (1909-1914)
- I took delivery of this beautiful set from France today!
- The seller had recently cleared his childless godfather's house after he passed away and found this almost unused set.
- 11 out of the original 12 blades are still wrapped and the 12th blade that was in the razor looks unused.
- I really doubt that it has been used more than 1-2 times and for some reason put away many years ago. Lucky me!

Beautiful!
Mail call.
This just came today and just finished my first shave, the WR2 Ti SB 1.25 with the Timor blade were made for my face, it was magic.
Gillette Aristocrat No. 3 Gold De Luxe 'Importé D Angleterre'
- Family heirloom from France.
- There is just no way around it. I'm highly addicted to restoring especially these 'combination'-sets. I gladly admit it
- It's so satisfying in the end when the case is clean inside out. The leather is deep black and smells good and all metal parts are shiny

Copper Charcoal Goods Gen2 Level 2
Another near mint one. Non hobbyist seller, no direct pics of silo doors so slight risk. However just received it and need to post pictures. The $32 out the door T3 super adjustable. It has
a 2 blade platinum pack with only one missing. It really looks like it was used once, the owner didn’t like it, took out the blade and put it in the back of the medicine cabinet. Seller over described the marks in the case, will easily Polish to look mint. Curious if those platinums have years on them so I can verify if they’re original to it.
Both ends of the spectrum. Picked up a Lite plate for my Blackbird SS. Also picked up a Wolfman WR2 1.55.
I just got the BB lite plate and pretty happy with it so far. But been considering getting normal plate also. Having both how would you compare the two?
my pictures of my $32 score. These platinums don’t have date codes but it’s a two blade pack. Looks like the real deal.
