4. Flat Bottom Tech
5. Canada Pre-war Tech
Edit: I do have a "1912" GEM Junior @spacemonkey42 generously gifted me.... I need to do another group photo..
One other thing. I like having my Vintage razors in cases as I keep them in a dresser drawer. Bakelite cases are wonderful, if you can find them... The prices? Around $50....
Here's how I solved that problem:
2 for $4.99. The Schick injectors and the SuperSpeed fit in them comfortably. LOL Vintage? Not yet... but they will be one day. <eg>

Favorite vintage is a 1940’s open comb Gillette.
Until recenty, a ‘61 Fatboy and before that an Aristocrat. I loved that Aristocrat and I liked the Fatboy a ton too.
Birth year and quarter (T2) Gillette SuperSpeed
1967/68 Schick Krona
1967/68 Schick Krona
All Gillettes and pretty much all of their designs. Old types, NEW’s, Tech’s, Super-Speeds, and Adjustables.
There are a few not pictured here but they all fall into the above categories.

Bulldog, Aristocrat, No.15, Dictator
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Gillette British Rocket HD
Gillette British FlareTip
all are used on rotation, great shaves.
im on the lookout for a Gillette FatBoy, but not the inflated prices we see.

I have A LOT of vintage razors and my Gillette old standard is my favorite
Two OldTypes and a early 60’s Flare Tip. Were what I was using for years. Recently I’ve been using FaTip OC’s.
One Gillette NEW - long tooth.
An assortment of Super Speed, from 1948 onward.
One Red Tip Super Speed.
An assortment of Tech's from 39-45 up to 1960's
A couple of Slims, Fatboys and Super Adjustables.
As I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate mild razors with good sharp blades.

I don‘t have a nickel toggle, blue tip, bottom dial, double ring, or red dot fatboy. Or the Canadian techs that seem exactly like the USA ones that I couldnt justify keeping.
I have multiples of Techs and Old Types (one of which is a wade and butcher old type clone). I have a Gillette New LC but don't use it much anymore. Partial to the 3 piece Old Types and the 70s UK Techs, although my Pre-War Tech is to die for.
Majority of my razors are vintage. Mostly pre and post war techs, superspeeds, and I have a Schick krona as well. I enjoy the smooth mild shave that older razor gives.
I started slimming down my collection today these are the ones I picked out I shave with the most.
