Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

This neat made in England Bakelite Tech landed today. It was a tag-a-long to what I was really after but I rather like it! Appears unused and I dig the heft with the metal cap...

And here's what I was really chasing. My Eclipse keeps tell me it's cold at night and was tired of being naked so...

Now it's all warm and snugly!

WOW VERY NICE!

 

[Stainless Razor]

the TTO Gem MicroMatic clog proof will work well with those stainless gem blades. i have the MMOC and it really is a well made razor and i really like the stainless blades more than the carbon steel ones.

Thanks for the tip, when I get replacement blades I will just get stainless.

Nice scores, everyone!

This is on its way from Italy. Been looking for one of these for a while. Can’t wait to take it for a spin. Heard they give a great shave.

 

[Dools]

Wow!!

"Western Defense Command" 1943
I picked this up at a local reenactment from a vendor. Not too shabby for 6 bucks

These were part of the standard British grooming kit issued to the troops during WWII. Should clean up nice.

Nice find! You just never know where you'll find something. A couple of weeks ago, I found 3 nice sets at a military surplus store.

Awesome score! Always dig anything with the Broad Arrow on it!

Thank you gents!

That's awesome. This event has historically been pretty decent for me. I picked up my khaki set at the same reenactment, from a different vendor, a few years back. Lots of non-shaving odds and ends too.

Awesome score! Always dig anything with the Broad Arrow on it!

This is my first broad arrow score, aside from my Lee Enfield. I think there's a board arrow on there somewhere lol.

View attachment 828839 Just got these today. My wife got a 1912 style gem and for $10 I got a completely mint condition gem that is TTO I can’t even tell how if it’s even been used. The E-1 gillete was $14 and will go to be revamped.

Those are 3 terrific razors! Congrats!
The chrome plating holds up really well on the Micromatics. I have a Bullet Tip MM that I'm sure had to have been used at some point, but it looks brand spanking new. You have some terrific shaves ahead of you!

Hands down my favorite shaver, right there.

 

[Hoka Hey]

A few new arrivals today. A couple classics I never got around to trying. A Pre-War Tech, and a Fatboy.

Both need some cleanup.

 

[Hoka Hey]

And one I’ve wanted for a long time. One of those at least semi Grail razors.

Gillette’s first TTO, the 1934 Aristocrat. I know it was used, as the blades are aftermarket, but other than that it’s hard to tell. Definitely NOT cleaning this one!

A boy and his first Aristocrat. It’s a beautiful thing.

Well done that Aristocrat is a thing of pride!
