    Another Barbasol Floating Head, seen with very small production variations in plating the width of the handle, the neck ring, and exposed blade under the cap, all amounting to a 2g weight difference for the needlessly obsessive observer. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Great shavers. I had one a long time ago, traded it to @PanChango for something I can't remember just now...

    After seeing a stamp made for @John Ruschmeyer, I figure I had to have one made also. It took a while, because I forgot about it, and made mine a little bit wider. Granted there are a few different types, but I had to pick one and used the one John picked. Now I have to order gold and silver ink pads..................

    Very nice. You made it?

    Also reminds me of some 1920s and 1930s Gillette newspaper printing blocks I used to own.

    I saw a couple show up on ebay a while back. I wasn't thinking about it then.

    So i finally picked these up today. And man a little disappointed but also happy at the same time. To be honest i wasnt sure 100% that the tech was a psycho tech and it definitely is! It is a Brazilian model. The the other techs are in good shape and aluminum. The bostonian is in great condition but i will see more once the tarnish is removed. The other razors are good user grades. The disappointment comes from the aristocrat. It has been spray painted gold. The slim is the aristocrat slim painted black. Overall i was able to talk the guy down from $100 to $80 since the two painted razors were not as good as i had hoped.

    If I remember correctly, I think it was a BRW Bull Mastiff handle and maybe an R41 head.

    That was long ago in the fuzzy dark ages....

    I knew that was a Psycho! Very good! Date code on it?

    And that black Slim adjustable... When you first posted it I thought it looked like it had been through a house fire.
