Very nice.

My new Ronson Razor. May never use it, but it was too beautiful to pass up.

Very cool!

Does he have any more 1947 Aristocrat or Super Speed? Or are they the same thing?

They are different and that was his only one. He has a British Aristocrat. Not sure if he'd part with it or not.

I'm trying to find a 1947 Super Speed and a Marine Corps Boot Camp issue 1965 Gillette. Would have been a big DOD purchase, heck they could have been from WWII.

Very interesting!

Here are some photos of the Ranger and Senator in my collection that Captain Murphy cleaned and did some minor repairs to. They shine bright and operate like new again.

They look great!

Absolutely stunning

My two recent arrivals:

My mystery razor



and my Wilkinson Sticky

I have a late 46 or early 47 Superspeed. Currently awaiting its turn at Razorplate.

They're excellent!

A beauty...

Merkur Progress (with DIY "Black Beauty" mod)

I like the mod you did...I like it a lot! Did you do it yourself or ???

Did it myself. Disassembled the razor then dipped in black "PlastiDip" (used to recoat tool handles, etc.). Dipped handle separately from yellow adjusting knob. It took 5 coats to cover the knob so the sharp edges didn't show through. I love the shave I get from my Progress, but found the polished finish a bit slick with wet hands. The coating helps make holding the wet razor a lot more secure. If you want details of how I did it, PM me. Alternatively, they are posted online in another Forum group on shaving under the title "Merkur Progress: BB Imitation"

Have you dealt with Razorplate before? I have had messages out to Razor Emporium for a while and haven't heard back from them.

Looks good!

Great idea and FANTASTIC looking razor!!
