I'm not wanting to throw cold water on your score but it looks like you've been frankenrazored on the Khaki as that looks similar to a NEW handle and I found nothing like that on the Mr Razor site.
If you can find an Old Type with a ball handle you should be able to set it to right.
Still it's a darned good score for the price.

I think it may be an Old Type ball handle with the ball missing. It's probably open at the bottom of the handle. This is pretty common to lose the ball end on those handles. At any rate, very nice score.

Got both razors today. The NEW will clean up nicely. The Khaki has a serious split in the handle. Need to find a replacement. Pics when I have them cleaned.

Agreed. It's most likely a gelding.

The bar-handled NEW is also mismatched with that case, which is from a New Standard set from the New Improved era before the NEWs were out. Still should be a good shaver, though. It doesn't look to have any bent teeth from what I can see of that one side.

I bought it as a shaver, not for the case. I wouldn't mind a correct handle for the khaki though. Still, if it shaves well, I have handles that will undoubtedly fit. Looks like I may need to get 1-2 good handles and start a free-range head collection.
