DONE** Mystery Razor PIF - Quick PIF so don't delay.

Just a small and quick PIF. I think I'm having PIF withdrawals! I recently received my two "mystery" razors. Let's see who can identify them. This PIF will run until we get three winners or June 3rd, whichever is first. I warned you...this is a quick one. Here's what's up for grabs.


Here are the rules. Identify both razors by posting below. The first to identify both will have their choice of any three of the blades above. Yes, it is a full tuck per blade, so the winner gets 15 blades. The second to identify them will have their choice of two of the remaining three, and the third to get them right gets the tuck that's left. The blades are, of course, Russian except for the Lord Platinum. I've included those because I tried one and hate them. Gotta go! So someone may get 5 blades they like.

Once I have three winners I'll announce who they are and we'll settle up. If we don't have three winners by the 3rd I will award by using random.org and just pick the top three that way. If we have one or two winners I'll give them their choice then random.org the rest. Clear?

This PIF is open to ALL members of the Den.

Ok, ready? Here are the mystery razors. You may identify them NOW!

Sweet pif. Not in though as I'm still focusing on my straights. Good luck all.

 

Weishi 9306a and Merkur '1904' Classic 42c

 

Very cool. And quick!

Good luck to those who play!

 

A Fatboy and a Gillette NEW LC. Or a pair of scissors.

 

Amazing! I didn't think anyone would recognize the scissors.

 

Looks like a great PIF. I am not in.

 

Not in, but great PIF!

 

Weishi 9306a and Merkur '1904' Classic 42c

 

For those guessing Weishi 9306, I'm going to not mind my own business and point out that the 9306 is a TTO, while both of those razors are 3 pieces.

 

Rimei and Long Feng!

 

I think lord something and a tech =D

 

2013 & 2014 model years....both made in China.

 

Cool. I like games!!!
Baili and Yuma?

 

I wondered who would point that out.

 

I don't know, but I've got the one on the left branded Personal Barber and it's a good mild razor matched with a Rapira swede.

 

Was it right? =P

 

Yes, @Mr. Shaverman astutely noticed and duly noted....the Weishi 9306 is a TTO while the mystery is not. Here's a pic of them side by side.

 

I'm seeing some good guesses....and some I understand why they were guessed.....still prizes up for grabs!

 

Of course this newbie doesn't have a clue. I wouldn't know a FatBoy from a SlimGirl. (well I might, but not regarding razor nicknames.)

I'd still like to be in the PIF though!

But in the spirit of the competition that @NCoxSTL seeks to promote...here's my two-cent visual observation.

Previous guesses submit that the one on the left looks similar to the Weishi 9306 - but for the three circular ring cuts at the top of the handle. My guess is that it is a custom handle, or someone put the 9306 in a lathe and performed an artistic upgrade.

The second one looks awfully like a Merkur '1904' 42C.

I will now humbly take my rightful position at the back of the line.
