Tell me what I have.....

[Astrowood]

This is my first post, and I am new to DE shaving. In fact, in 38 yrs of shaving, I have only tried it twice (yesterday and today), but I think that I am here to stay! What you see below is a lot that I bought on Kijiji. Brought them home cleaned them up as best I could, and I'm off to the races. They are all Gillette's, the first one on the far right is made in England No 430030. The two on the far left need repair, the adjustable one does not adjust, and the last one, one door does not close right. I would think that these are OK "starters" ?

Any thoughts ?

L-R: British Aristocrat Junior, 1940-41 Milord, Slim Adjustable, Adjustable Aristocrat, and 1937-39 Sheraton.

Excellent variety for a "starter collection".

Welcome to B&B. We are glad you joined us here.

Regarding the razors that will not adjust/close properly, try soaking them in very hot water (near boiling) and dish soap for about 30 minutes or so. It's probably soap scum loaded up in the razors. A couple of soaks should loosen them up for you.

Great razor family to start your journey. Enjoy your shaves and be sure to ask any questions you might have.
