What's new

Waiting for the mail... (plus ID request)

And they are off an extra day this week!

Incoming, a really clean looking Slim Adjustable from '65, and a pretty decent looking (maybe better?) '53 Superspeed (that I maybe paid a little too much for at about $19 shipped).

Then there's this lot.

Went after it for that Superspeed in the corner. Have a close look, it's a '47 :w00t:. Hope it's in great shape, really hard to tell. There's the ball handled Tech, though I see some green crud, I'm hoping it cleans up okay. And the Big Fellow (?) may be not that bad once cleaned (might be a candidate for re-plating like I'm thinking about with the New I picked up). Then there's the Gem (not sure what to do with that, again have to get a better look at the condition).

Lastly, the ID request. Since I'm still quite new to all this, I have no clue what that is on the lower left. Don't think it's a Gillette, but other than that no idea. I've seen one more at auction in a lot, so I imagine they're common, but still no name. Any help on this one? TIA.
 
That's a star DE razor in the left. It's supposedly similar to a tech in shave.
The Big Fellow is indeed an old type Big Fellow. Looks to be gold plated. Should shine up surprisingly nicely actually.
The SS on the left is definitely a 47 and it does look quite nice!

Good lot. Some good variations to try out. Some would have easily paid that much just for the big fellow.
 
...Then there's the Gem (not sure what to do with that, again have to get a better look at the condition).

It's a razor. You shave with it! :smile:

It's a Gem Micromatic, a TTO SE razor. Very common and a favorite razor for some of us here. Pick up a pack of Personna Gem Stainless blades at Walgreen's

and give it a (gentle, cautious) try. You may choose to use Gems from that point on!

Thanks guys. I think I may already have a box of those blades (used at work years ago occasionally at the Auto Show for cleaning goo off glass etc.).

I'll clean it up, sanitize it and post some pics. And I'll put it in line for a shve week!
