That is sweet! The handle looks just like the Durham handle! Great score.

Lucky fellow!!! Is it possible to alter a regular blade to fit?

Looks like a yes to that question!

Aaand... the Vienna Vest Pocket properly cleaned up... Can't do it better with the case, but the razor turned out to be shiny... Shinier I mean...

That turned out very nice Juan!

But I think you're just showing off, you know I want one. Well, 2 can play this game, here's my German set for you to look at.

Thanks gentleman, I'm pretty excited and as TobyC answered his own question, Yes you can alter and try a current blade which I'll do eventually. It came with an original "curved" blade and they are much more rigid so I don't know how well current production blades will work.........we'll see when I get time.

Last 2 arrived this afternoon. Pre-war fat handle Tech that needs some love but I think will clean up alright. The other one I'm really excited about. My birth year 1987 H4 Gillette Super Adjustable. The handle looks perfect, no paint loss. The head needs a good cleaning and re-paint of the numbers.

Enjoy these two great razors. The only razor I had until I came here was a SA 109 H-3 that I purchased new. It is a great razor.

Gentlemen...
Windrose handles.

Shown with 1950s Gillette Tech, pre-war Gillette Tech, and Maggard Slant heads for maximum eyecandy. I got the one in the last image a couple months back but never posted it in this thread.
