1940's Ranger TechThe Gillette Ranger Tech originally went into production for the holiday season in 1941 however production was canceled due to the outbreak of WWII. Gillette then went into wartime production of blades and 3 piece techs for the troops. When the war was over Gillette resumed production of the Twist To Open razors but the Ranger had evolved into the Super Speed.
1958 Gillette TV Razor with TV CaseThe TV model was only made during 1958 so it is very collectible as well as being a great shaver. It was produced in conjunction with some TV ads that Gillette was running at the time and originally came with a red case that had the TV logo on it.

Lots of great new photos up here lately. I've been meaning to get them uploaded to the wiki, but have been short on time. I hope next week things calm down a little and I can get to work. In the mean time, no I haven't forgotten about the free Derby blades to photo contributors. After I get the wiki updated, I'll start sending out blades to those who's photos have been used, and I haven't already sent blades to.
