    So it has become a new thing, hitting the local antique shops looking for anything shaving related. Thanks guys, you are a great bunch of enablers. I say that with the up most respect and love.

    So any how, I recently picked up an injectable and an old GEM razor with case and blade bank.

    Is there anyway to date these razors? I know Gillettes have date date codes on the razors. Thanks again Den Member/Enablers.

    I don't know anything about Gems but the Schick looks like a Type G, which would put it between 1946-1955.
    Good data about Schick injectors can be found HERE.
    Look forward to your thoughts about your new razors.

    So after reading the post you guy pointed me to I can to the understanding @Billyfergie and @Bird Lives are the resident GEM experts. I reached out to both of them to help me date the GEM. I have heard back from Billy(Thank you Sir). He has said it was an Early GEM Brooklands from 1924. I was squealing like a little school girl. :happy093: Which is pretty bad cause I work in a cube farm. I just had to share the news.

    Oooh. You need to print out a couple of the really old Gillette ads and post them outside your cubicle. Or just inside.

    Congratulations on your finds. Nothing better than bagging a vintage razor in the wild!
    This was my first ever fleamarket find:

    NEW Short Comb, ca. 1932-40.
    $5. My favorite razor. Paired with a GSB it's a stubble assassin.
