Hi guys, I would like to ask for your generosity. I need pictures of DE Safety Razor types. I am really new to this jungle and kind of lost. How many types are there in DE? I try to list them here. I might be wrong, though - Twist To Open - Two pieces - Three pieces - Open Comb - Close Comb - Injectors Can I have pictures of each type? I will use the pictures on my website. This website is talking about my journey in shaving and the need to know about shaving. I hope you will help me develop this website into a good shaving resources, too. Thank you very much. Arief
Injectors are not DE razors. Are you just looking for the most common stuff? Because there are some really esoteric designs out there. For example, the G.E. Jones Shake Sharp razor is a single edge design that only takes DE blades. All these pictures are mine, no need for attribution unless you want to (Except for the second set of razor instructions). First Generation Razor instructions. The following pictures of the 2nd Generation razor instructions were taken from Rocketman's post in The Original Safety forum. First Generation Shake Sharp. Second Generation Shake Sharp. The razor on the left is a second generation Shake Sharp, the one on the right is a first generation Shake Sharp. Notice the edge exposure is much more pronounced on the first generation razors.
There are many websites that have pictures of razors. Here are two. Have fun! Injectors & DEs World Encyclopedia of Safety Razors Gillette Razors Mr. Razor
Plenty of razors in the SOTD. I don't copyright mine. Are you looking for Patent like mechanical drawings, or "I'm proud of my gear" razor porn?
I'll get you some and you can pick what you like. I'm sure there are others here who have nicer. As mentioned above, Google Mr. Razor for lots of Gillette pics, but I don't know if they're protected property.
I am looking for the common stuff first. As I am just starting on building my website. Thanks for the picture. I can't do that. The images might have copyright. I do not want someone sue me later because of it. I ask here for the pictures and the right for me to use it on my website. My website is still new. I hope you can help me build it. Give ideas for subject to cover. Can I really post my website here? Because other forum forbids it. But here is my website: beshaved.com Thank you so much. I know there are plenty of razors in the SOTD, but I have to ask for permission for the images. It is easier for me to start this thread, assuming people that post here is giving their permission. I will grab your images then. Thank you. Arief
Enjoy! Any particular razors you'd like photos of? I have a couple Gillettes, and a Shick DE. I think it's OK to put your website in your signature (that text at the bottom of your post). If it suits you, here's a photo of the date code of my 1959 4th quarter Gillette model #195 "FatBoy".
Greetings Arief! You may copy any or all of my photos for non-commercial use. Have fun with your site!
Thanx. I'm an eBay-er. With very few exceptions, I haven't paid a premium for any of them. I'm a proponent of buying lots and keeping the desirable pieces. All of these were crusty, frightening tools when I got them.
