The proof.

Very nice score.

Nice clean up job. She looks great.

Nice haul Paul!

A 110 Wilkinson Sword Wilkinson II carts, 5 Wilman II carts, and Boellis Panama:

I just picked up my 100 new Gillette Platinum blades that I ordered from KLF here on the board. As usual, immediate shipping and quick delivery from Israel.

Thanks Liorfe!

I'll be exploring a couple of new-to-me soaps this month, and watching @HolyRollah's sell-off with great interest.

Received this NIB Provence Sante soap and ceramic dish

Thanks Guys! I just realized that the lighting makes the razor look like it might have a gold finish. It's nickel. I watched a video from Razor Emporium: How to and How Not to Clean a Vintage Razor. Great advice and it gave me the confidence I wasn't going to mess it up.

Geez, I better get my act together— collect some stuff, take some purdy pictures and post a 'for sale' sign. hopefully this will happen within the next two weeks….

you spell it

Just tryin to help

I get the feeling you're subtly trying to tell me something, David…...

Just snaffled up an unused Swing travel razor, all in stainless steel I hope.

Very nice score especially with the case.

Nice brush bubl

Thanks, Clint did a spectacular job

I've not seen a blade like this before. Insights?

It's by Gillette

Now THAT's the kind of info folks come to TSD for!
Also, my discerning eye noticed the blade is 'MADE IN U.S.A.'

Your welcome!

On a somewhat more serious note people do seem to love these vintage thin blades.
Here's a thread on the topic.
It appears to be a carbon blade.

Your blade seems to be from 1951 (but the patent numbers are different...so maybe not)
(Once again, my deep insight and knowledge is really shining through here....)

Your patent numbers matches this from 1950:

And your date code is from 1951:


So, ergo, I declare them to be early-1951 blades
