Vintage find

[Bill in Oneida]

Found this lot o 4 Gillette razors in a 2nd hand store. They were tucked away in a display case behind some other stuff which made them difficult to see. 1 prewar tech, 1 ball end, 2 different super speeds. They cleaned up pretty good.

Good job getting the pics up too Bill. The rabbit hole of adding things is deep

 

[Spider]

Where's the post clean-up pic? We want to see the before AND the after!

 

[dangerousdon]

[Dave in KY]

Yeah, get to work on these Bill and post pics of them cleaned up ?

 

[NurseDave]

Then, after some cleaning and polish.

I’m not entirely sold that this was meant for shaving. It’s not terribly comfortable in the hand and tends to roll. But, I’m willing to give it a try.

Aren't all shavettes?

 

[NurseDave]

Why is KJ using a carpet trimmer to shave with?

 

[Majorrich]

Found this travel razor compact and couldn’t pass on it. J-4 1964 the Silver Blues I just put in there to see if they fit.

 

[Dave in KY]

Cool, my birth year. I have one without the case. We'll all have to do a travel shave 1 day. I know others have them ?

 

[dangerousdon]

Nice Find!
