Those are some cool looking razors.

I've never seen these razor designs before. Fascinating.

The Famex/RazVite and Le Coq would be 1930s French production.

It's interesting how different manufacturers built different razors around the basic razor blade.

Le Coq 3-piece also has a lot of exposure but is more easily managed than the caged head. USTA, MDC.

Swing/USTA. The Swing razors are great but felt the USTA blade was losing its edge a bit (4th use i think). Finished the head shave with the Shake Sharp/twin USTA.

Gibbs/USTA (2). Not a fan of the head heavy handling of the brass Gibbs but results here (5 setting) were quite good.

And Lemonheads last night were a blast.

Cooper Monobilt, Gibbs Normal/USTA. I'm not as fond of the Cooper as some here, finding it smooth but not that efficient. The Gibbs on its + side was more effective and to my liking on the tricky head stubble.

Cool stuff!

I don't like adjustable razors, never have, never will ("featuring nine levels of less than optimum shaves!") . The Smyrnyn or whatever it's called is not bad. The Denali is beautifully put together..but lots of other razors I'd rather use. USTAs in both.

Tarmax SE, MMOC. Tom White's Tarmax requires an angle which takes a bit of getting used to. Good results on the beard , head shave is trickier, finished up with a MMOC.

Wow! That’s one beefy razor head! Unique design!

Aluminum so no weight or balance issues, just requires a flat angle approach.

Tarmax (beard), 1924 (head) / Gem PTFE, MDC. Decided to stick with the Tarmax where it feels most comfortable.

Love that GEM handle! Looks like the old lighthouse lenses!

It does look good. It's a Charcoal handle.

@jmudrick , your razor collection sports some of the most interesting, pristine razors. I love learning about different ones.

Where is this traditional?

Skipped the turkey this year. And still enjoying leftover snail porridge.
