    1930's ? Anyone got any kind of idea as to what exactly this is. I am pretty sure its a NEW. Either way, I like it. I was thinking of getting it replated, anybody know how much that would cost or how to do it yourself, jewelers etc?

    Anyway, I found this baby in an antique shop yesterday for $6. Not in mint condition but cleaned up nice. Here are the pics.

    My Grandfather had one of those I remember it from when I was a Kid. I know it's some type of razor because thats where he kept it with the other razors he had will a regular DE blade fit in it?

    Bob, yep, short comb New. I've got a similar one that came in a lot of four razors. The plating on the head is worn off showing copper, like yours, but it shined up to look really nice, and I think I actually prefer to keep the two tone look. No idea what replating would cost if you did want to do that. Oh yes, it's a great shaver, one of my two favorite DEs, along with my Fatboy.

    Slamthunderide, welcome to the Den! Yes, this razor takes standard DE blades.

    I haven't loaded it up with a blade yet just to avoid temptation. I have a promise to keep with the LUX I have first. I'm sure a blade will fit though, it seems normal size.

    I have a frankenrazor with a NEW head identical to that razor. It accepts any modern DE blade and shaves quite nicely. That handle looks nice and hefty. Good find!
