Gratuitous Safety Razor Photos

This my new '47 Super Speed. It is my birth year razor. It was a long time coming. I am so happy to have it in my collection.

 

I have really enjoyed the Stahly head on a standard handle. Too bad that head design is no longer manufactured.

Old with paper blade--I cannot bring myself to use it.

That looks very nice I too have a SS birth razor.

Here is my new gold GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip:

 

£1.32 Chinese "Noble Aluminium" TTO





Worth every penny!

 

The blade looks plastic, too.

 

I like a bit of adventure but that's just going a bit far, no chance of bloodshed though!

This is my '47 Gillette Aristocrat, my birth year razor. It's a great shaver. I am thinking of getting it replated in gold.

 

I'm surprised no one put one of these up yet. My F4 toggle.


Shaved with it this morning.

This is my F4 Fatboy and my F4 Flare Tip Super Speed.

 

I'm surprised no one has put up one of these... My Rimei 3-piece.

 

What can you tell me about the brush in this first picture... I love it!

 

PM Facial Carnage to see what he used on the handle as a finish. The brush is a Rubberset small handled brush which many call the "barber's shaped handle" with a Generation 3 synthetic knot replacing either what was most likely boar or maybe lower grade badger that was originally in the handle.

 

This is my favorite razor... the late, great Robert Smith of Bob's Razor Works made the handle for me and had the head replated.

That Gem is beautiful. It really is a GEM

 

Thank you! GDC is correct! When I purchased this brush is was missing a good portion of its hair, which was lower grade badger hair. After removing the hair I use a cherry and gun stuck color stained followed with a CA Glue finish to get the high shine on the wood. It was a fun project, but CA finishes can be tricky. It is important to be in a dust free environment and to wear gloves to protect from fingerprints, smudges, etc.
