Some vintage Gillettes to get out! All run through a medium grade ultrasonic. Straight safety bars, no mechanical defects! Knock off $5 for each additional. US only, too hard to get to the post for international.

Y4 superspeed $30 No steel in the head, beautiful doors, aside from a fleabite in the chrome and light clouding under the head (shown) could almost pass as new. Comes with a not original earlier case with light scuffs on the front but works fine. $30

C1 Red Tip $26 standard light signs corrosion on top and bottom of baseplate (light compared to many others) and paint chipping. Good user grade. The case makes me sad as there is zero crazing in the lid but it has a crack, broken hinge, bottom is toast.

D3 TV Special $29 Some discoloration under one door and baseplate. Brass starting to show at date code. Presents very well/near new outside of that. Case lid is crazed and cracked though, bottom is good. Last photo next to wrong case.

L2 Superspeed $28. Very good/near mint shape. Aside from some could barely catch in last photo stubborn small spots of dirt in a couple of grooves shows almost no signs of use and nothing came out in the ultrasonic. Case hinge is broken on right side causing light crazing just to the side of the lid and rear. Suspect got barely any use and thrown in a drawer somewhere.

Made in England aluminum handle/baseplate techs. Top cap is either brass or zamak? One shows scuffing in the baseplate consisent with cleaning with steel wool but doesn’t affect function, the other is in great shape. Both handles seem to have standard darkness but don’t want to Polish the aluminum. These have a funky personality as they are slightly aggressive as techs but light, just didn’t suit me. $10 for the scuffed one, $14 for the non-scuffed.

No Date code American Aristocrat/notched center bar/creased blade tray (1948-1950?)
Case is rough, inside and out. Not presentable. Razor came to me with a slightly bent head. I can’t knowingly sell that to anyone so backroadsgold fixed it for me (adjustment only, no full tune up). Loss of varnish over gold on head and light gold thinning on safety bars. Only ran lightly through ultrasonic to preserve the gold. Would be a great looking user razor as these tend to have a lot of issues with bent heads/safety bars. $35

1946 Aristocrat Knob is wearing to chrome, lots of varnish missing, some staining from blue blade use and definitely has some wear. Case is rough but the outside isn’t as bad as the inside. The doors open a tiny bit off (see last 2 photos) but sit flush when fully closed. Saying this for the more discerning individuals as the 1946/ranger style heads seemed much more prone to having issues. A worn but functional user grade 1946. $26
