    cool set i liked the 53/54 ss as it had the thin head like the steel handled black tip,earlier ss-1947-51 had a taller head assembly.

    Are these razors ever used, or just being kept in "new old stock" condition?

    for future reference for those interested..
    this razor was one i passed along some 4 years ago,it's the 1948-50 version.i had originally kept the 1946-7 version as it's an earlier design head,is smoother and very efficient.however,i recently passed that one along as well to a fine member on the forum.i got a fabulous shave today with this razor,but it did feel a bit rough in comparison to my brit aristocrat versions of the same era.i can only account it to the thin stamped head/baseplate.i found this as well with the 1949 Executive.the thicker flat British baseplate is heavier and feels smoother shave wise imo.the gold'crat was more audible,it's a gorgeous looking razor design and the similar president/diplomat are all fine looking sets.it's too bad i got a bit spoiled with the brit ones..;):eatdrink047:
