Well your probably not as excited as me at having found a Wilkinson Swords Profile Mk2, designed by Kenneth Grange as the "Contact" in 1985. Previously I have only seen photo's of the Grange exhibition and the photo of the bulk saver pack...
That is has Grange's name attached to it is enough to make me perk up I can't even find a metal/silver Protector.... were they sold to consumers? I only ever see the plastic ones in different colours....
The revised Protector, which has a more modern cartridge ejector button should have a metal top plate whether silver/metal, blue, red or yellow. These are however not original Grange designs. The earlier version designed by Grange did come in plastic and metal versions. The underside for the revised version is plastic/resin etc.
6 Protector Mk1's, I just found 7 of these. I am sure I have another stash that is football/soccer club inspired. I may have another Bond too, these are ultra ultra ultra rare apparently ...
The 007 Protector does look metal, 4 of the 5 Fun Protector's could be alloy or plastic. The Fun protector in the top right hand corner is a plastic see-through handle with a rod inside...
You need a way to display your incredible collection....if not in person have you considered creating a virtual museum of your collection online? Like a mr-razor site...but for cartridges?
I emailed Wilkinson Sword once about doing something on their history and they weren't interested or helpful...
I kinda doubt it - especially it covers vintage, rare models. I wonder how much traffic Achim is getting.
If a posting on a very rare Soviet made twin blade razor that no one has seen outside of the USSR gets just two additional posters interested in a cartridge forum, I have doubts than many others are interested ...
True. Well, it IS a niche w/in a niche..w/in a niche.... Odd Russian....cartridges...wetshaving Btw, looks like mr-razor gets about 7-8,000 views a month - I thought it would be way more than that.
A table like the Schick Injector versions could be created, and hosted by a willing Forum. I need a decent camera and a photo box, the bandwidth wouldn't be that great, but is it worth the effort?
PM sent, but there would always be conditions about control. If you have ever created a page on Wikipedia and had some one change it or added details to it that were incorrect, and only been slightly put out ... . Even on the Facebook page you highlighted run by Schick, they post Gillette items as Gillette own the Wilkinson Sword trade mark in certain countries...
