Just a general question since I am thinking about picking up a new and old type. What is the general amount one should expect to pay for each of these Gillettes? I am not really looking for cased specimens but more of ones I can use and are in decent shape for displaying.
Old you should be able to find for 10 dollars shipped or less,Look out for cracks in the handles small ones are ok, handles with bigger cracks you may want to avoid, but I think a tech handle will fit any of these 3 piece razors. the new go for 15-20 shipped. these are rough guesstimates from what I have seen them posted and selling for. Old<new improved<new this is a generalization of how aggressive each of the razors are to one another.
Yes that is way too much. Keep an eye out, I have picked up a lot with multiple of each for $25. Antique stores often have these if nothing else on their shelves.
i cant seem to find an antique store in Dallas that has shaving stuff.. Most of the antique stores around here deal in furniture and paintings and are only open by appointment
That is good advise. I got a very nice 29 model in a buy that included another razor with box. gave 14 for all of it. so I figure i got it for about $5. They usually look rough till you get them cleaned up.. be very carefull of long cracks. not wort the headache, small cracks are normal. Fuzzy
But... if you can find one with a badly cracked handle, you can always use a tech handle on it until you get something better.
argh... just tried to win this one but didnt bid enough... anyone from here win it? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270348653809
I've bought a few olds, news and new improved for as little as 3 for $5, or $10 for a single good one with small cracks but the plating still good.
