Omega 6752 Black Badger Shaving Brush, Multicolored Wood × 1

 

The Rooney arrived the other day, and today a flea market find... my first Valet Auto Strop.
V1 from what I've gathered.

Are the Valet's like a Rolls since you strop them?..like meant to use the same blade over and over? Or were they disposables that lasted longer?

You can take a spine off of a gem and use it. I do. The blades originally were proprietary blades. The lather strop was slipped through and you would strop it.

Thanks Jorge. I stuck 2 gem se's in a vice with rubber grips, and the spines came off like nothing with a needle nose.
The holes on the sides of the green blade seem too small though...I couldn't slide the blade all the way in, and didn't want to force it.
Maybe I'll give it another go, but I've read some blades get annoyed too work.
I believe it's a V1 of I'm not mistaken, if that matters...

 

@Jorvaljr , you don't have to enlarge the half circles on the gem blade? Is yours the same head as mine?

 

very cool..

 

1950s era Rotbart

 

This is a pic @Jayaruh put up on where to clip the Gem blades.............

 

are you sure it's a rotbart.?..cool score..

 

West coast shaving order tonight. The x2 extra item goes to my cousin for Christmas. The rest goes to me.

 

Thanks Gary. I sure hope it's a Rotbart after all the time and energy I exhausted to determine the maker on this one.

 

Like I really needed another Fat Boy and a champagne Lady's Gillette, but the price was nice.

 

They look like they were well taken care of.
Like to see them after you clean them up.

Hopefully they clean up. No information given so kind of a crap shoot.

 

I've been watching this for a while now, and decided to get it. A Hershey's shave soap bowl...............

 

Well the other time it ended up a bust so we'll see how this plays out. I asked if they had better pics and it functioned as I use these old razors. That seemed to elicit some laughing at me and surprise to them. They did say it was in excellent condition though. They weren't with the razor so no new pics quickly and I was afraid to lose it to someone else snagging it so I took a chance . No Risk, NO Reward.........Listed as "Schick Razor �� Antique From The Early 1900s" $70 and we settled on $60

 

cool antique Dave..

 

Hopefully...........Thanks Gary

 

Yea I’d SNAG that one too. Beautiful
