I picked this one up at an antique shop yesterday. I think it is an E-2 it opens for cleaning and the guard bar has irregular striations.

From ebay today.
It needs a bit of cleaning up, but looks like a very nice example of a razor I find interesting. I believe it should take the Schick Injector 11 TWIN blade, too, which is a nice advantage.
Happy shaves,
Jim

Yes it does and Thank you sir.
It looks like the E2 that I just found. Nice handle and correct case, I wondered what they meant by "wax seal".
Nice find!
I found one of those once but it was beat up pretty bad so I passed on it. Maybe I'll find a nice one like yours someday, I did find a pretty nice gear shifter a couple months ago.

I have my eye out for the gear shifter, too. I just lucked out on the tennis racket handle. The handle seems like it was entirely conceived of as a novelty, but it feels like perhaps the best shaving handle ever. I've read that it is a great shaver with the TWIN blade.
Happy shaves,

I know where a NOS in the package Gear Shifter is at for $75.00. It's a little much for me, I'm happy with my $3 purchase.
Wow! That's just like a personalized set my daughter found for me a few months ago! This must have been a pretty common practice for this model. Mine was an E2, also.

Nice one! I've been wondering how common they are. Thinking maybe they were available around Christmas for a season or two. Just a guess, as razors always seemed to make nice useful gifts.
I've got a Stick (shifter). It's a good shaver, but the handle actually feels a bit cheap to me. I'm curious to try a Grip, though.
Great finds gentlemen!

The Grip doesn't seem cheap to me. It really is like a little tennis racket handle. I played a lot of tennis, and my brother, who was a bit better player, played college tennis. The razor reminds me of him, so I may be biased as I look at it.
It seems to be very much like the Type O in the design, particularly of the head, but the Type O is a bit longer and a good bit heavier. I'd think the L3 is a mild shaver.
I'm also sorta looking for an adjustable M. Just if I come across a nice one at a good price.
Happy shaves,
Jim
I just received my ATT SE1 with Atlas handle. What a fine instrument! I'm excited to give it a go.

i hope you use it, i have been using mine all this week. you know it is adjustable? i have been done the first pass wtg on the aggressive setting and a second pass and touchup atg on least aggressive. with the roller all the way out it is very comfortable and it does not feel like you could cut your self if you tried.
I'm hoping to use it, I just hope the blades are OK, it's due for delivery tomorrow

That will be interesting to hear about. I hope the blades are great.

Hope this is not a pig in a poke. Liked the ATT SE1 so much that I could not resist the ATT-G1.
