    Just sit watchin TV lol, 3 TV super speeds all in great condition
    1st pic USA TV superspeed in center with Brit TV superspeeds either side, the Brits look stunning with there Rhodium plated handles
    2nd pic shows the 2 Brits together, the one on the right could do with a quick clean but it is my main razor. Very smooth shave with this, I would class it as Mild+

    I would love to have one or both of those. What are the model names so I can begin searching?

    They are not mine, (I wish they was lol) I was just quoting the original post by Jake.

    I believe they are Emir (Vintage German razors).

    They are Emir razors and they turn heads wherever they are posted.

    The Rolls people called it a "Safety" razor. It is, sort of.

    Yours is a bit earlier on the production. Mine is Serial #106 and if I am correct yours is in the 50's #53 maybe?

    #37 is the serial number on mine.

    I really dont use it much these days but I have it in a small display cabinet with my 1936 OC Gillette USA Aristocrat, the ABC set, USA TV superspeed, and a cased Fatboy. along with some NOS vintage brushes/soaps.

    Wow, I missed by a bit, but there were not a lot made in the first production round so any A series is a rare bird indeed.

    Gillette Slim, with the unusual German set/case, it has 4 panels that just slide do to reveal the razor, simple yet cool L-2 date code which makes it 1966 2nd Quarter
