Great shavers.

 

I agree..fine razor sets Jim.you've built some cool handles and cases.

 

Thanks Gary.

 

Nice ones Gary.

 

thank you Jim.the crown jewels..

 

@brit WTH is RFB?
Apologies in advance, but I have a lot of my faves in SOTD pics that were never posted...
Now if I can find this in tapatalk so I can post pics.
Really hate, hate, hate tapatalk...wish posting pics here was easy like other boards, but I digress

 

RFB is raised flat bottom.the brits put extra material on the base plates to continue making 2 piece razors.the new lc baseplate wasn't sturdy enough.it is basically a rothbart design..which gillette england had purchaced?something like that..

standard new lc


new RFB 2 piece


new rfb 3 piece
they also made the top of the base plate have more curvature for better blade clamping as compared to the new lc.

 

I've fallen in love with my ABC Shell in basketweave I found for $4. So much so that it got a friend, and I'd like to complete other sets.
Other than an attempted scam, I've been unable to locate a silver empire case, gold empire razor or any other gold ABC razor.

Wow, so many of the razors I love!! - Not least the British made Gillettes are my obsession too.

Most of my photos sadly seem to be “too large” to upload, need to find out how to mitigate that.

But I can show my Populars - almost all sets made are there. And Gary I believe you hold the only one I ever sold (which I regretted)

 

Haha, many thanks Jody - well not to rub it in but I have 10 sets, hehe. The ´39 Goldie #46 is out for replate, and if I should lose it in the mail I have a spare (which also needs revamping) - good times with the afflication that I simply cannot pass any Popular I stumble upon

… Still, wish I knew how to resize my photos so I could upload…

 

Sorry, this is the best I can do for photos (unless someone has a great trick) - wanted to share my beloved Aristocrats and the New Prez.
