    Looks like a Milord open comb, a Super Speed flare tip, and a Fat-handled Tech. They are all good razors. The Milord and Fat-handled Tech are before WWII and the Flare tip is about mid-50s.

    That isn't a Milord, it's a Sheraton.

    I bow to you, Tom. I believe you are correct.

    Nice scores.
    That Sheraton will show to you that just because a razor has an open comb, it does not mean it is aggressive.
    I find the Sheraton to be on the mild side, but still efficient.

    Anyone wanna guess on the price? :D Thank y'all. This was my first step into vintage so I'm very novice.

    If over/under is $15, I'll take the under.

    If that Sheraton cleans up nicely you could probably get $50 for it on a good day - they are not really all that common.

    If you live near a Safeway they have a sale on Scrubbing Bubbles - but be careful not to get the one with bleach.

    This should make you feel good....I just saw a Sheraton on ebay from this time last year(2-15-13) that sold for $102.50 + $5.80 shipping...Now keep in mind a couple of critical things:
    1) It was sold by cedarfurnitureman a well know seller on ebay, who usually sells quality razors in fantastic condition..
    2) It came with original case and a pack of NOS Gillette Blue Blades
    3) All in very good used condition...

    Not saying the one you have is worth that, but it's definately a keeper....:)

    Almost forgot....."GREAT SCORE"!!! :happy088:

    There is a black spot around the top I can't get off. The man who had these razors MUST have been like us, his razors saw many a shave. They are beautiful.

    I like the Lysol foaming bathroom cleaner and will use a little Brasso polish when needed.

    Scrubbing Bubbles works well to disinfect, but use this for the polish. It is safer on mixed metals and older plating such as the Sheraton than Brasso which can be a little harsh.
