  4. Very cool! Many of us shave with vintage razors, but yours are heirloom!

    Check the bottom sides of the base plates on Gillettes for a letter & number. That's the date code for when it was manufactured. It will help to identify the Fat Boys from the Slims.

  5. Thanks gents. So far I’ve cleaned up 2 of the SS and the British Tech. The Tech has no date code so I suppose it was made anytime between 1930-1951. One of the Super Speeds I cleaned is from 1953; the other is from 48-50.

  6. Just cleaned up the 2 Adjustable razors as well as the remaining Super Speed. The 2 adjustables are Slim Adjustable razors (date codes K & M) the remaining SS is date code D so that tells me it’s from 1958.

  15. Here is a razor you don't see everyday. This is a Spanish made razor called a Filomatic Inox.

  17. Sort of a distant cousin to a Cooper Monobult? Similar swing away top cap. Looks like it'll have lots of blade exposure if you like that kind of thing. I do!
