Safety Razor Acquisition Thread.

A Gillette Rocket Gold. With a not very usual case, I think.

Really nice! Does the case inner liner say "Army Razor"?

Another new. Aside from the plating loss on the cap and the end of the handle, this one is in great shape. It screws together very nicely. Less wobble than I usually see with vintage 3 piece razors. I first planned on getting it plated in nickel, but I might leave it as is.View attachment 790178

this is what it will look like if you get the nickel plate.

Nice. Maybe another one of my news will get that. I have one that has original nickel or silver plate. I assume they used nickel back then.

That's purdy.

Wouldn't it need to be rough stainless steel?

Niiiiiice! It is the first time I see one dressed in silver / nickel So much brighter than the golden / brass.

by Chris at RazorPlate a year or two ago. i think he is booked for now, but if you are in no hurry, watch for when he starts taking orders again.

A Gillette Fat Boy to replace the one I can't find. I had hoped that as soon as I got a replacement the original would reappear but all I found was a little box with some Schick Kronas. The Kronas did clean back up nicely and I had forgotten how much they resemble a long handle version of the Black handle Super Speed.

Very nice! I have always wondered on this model. Are the doors brass or zamak? The stamping has always made
Me wonder because of the gillettes that have stamping.

Kindly,
