Nice. I have one just like it also from the bay. They clean up well, but be careful of the paint on the tip. Very mild razor. Hard to cut yourself, even if in a hurry.

Indeed! I just shaved with it and can tell how much gentler it is compared to the Red Tip.
Continue filling my Soviet razor collection.
Just got quite rare Consul shaving set.
Consul adjustable safety razor is well known and quite popular on ebay. And this is shaving set including Consul razor and some basic staff.
Dated 1990. Last years of Soviet Union. Price 18 rubles. Separate price for Consul razor was 9,50 rubles.
For understanding the prices: bread+1 ltr of milk = 0.40 rubl.
1 Consul safety razor = 3 Bottles of “Stolichnaya” vodka.

Not a safety razor but an accessory. Welded by my future son in law for fathers day. I've gotten him into DE shaving as well.
That is *awesome*!
Mail call!
Nice acquisitions all around!
My latest currently inbound: A 1940 Gillette Popular in the rarer black nickel handle version, and in superb condition except for one AWOL bladeholder (seller pics). I believe this is called a #45 set.

@Northstonehill,
That's a nice looking razor plus case. I didn't know that a black nickel finish existed. It's an Importe d'angleterre as well??

Thank you, sir! And yes, I do believe it is a French set like the one in mr-razor
Yup, and on the case too (easier to tell in another pic I have from the seller)
And you are right, the black nickel is rarely seen as a plating material/look. Only other one I can think of is Rotbart which made some of their 1930-1940s models with black nickel handles too (actually, either the full handles or just the bottom part “knob”). Pic here of the latter (not my razor):
Gorgeous pickup here! Congrats, and enjoy it!

Gorgeous set. Great find. Love my Popular too, one of the smoothest shavers for me
Man that is WAY cool. Congratulations.
Congratulations Peter, that razor is beautiful. Great score.
Found this on Offerup.com for $20.
Not bad for $20 and a 5 minute drive.
Need to scrub and soak in Barbasol.
Do I dare and try the blades?
EDIT: Serial number is 77462C. Does that mean it's from 1927?
