Here is my newest OC razor. It is a Property of U. S. Army, 1918 Old Type. I got the head and handle ends in a junk lot. The head has a little plate wear, but the teeth are all there and straight. I made this walnut handle for it and used a 45 Auto casing to replace the ball end.

Since being bitten with the SE bug some of my DEs have been very neglected and I thoroughly enjoyed this mornings shave.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Pre-Gillette Rotbart / Supermax BDT. I added my shave oil back into the mix, I can't say how much that improved the shave but this was a marvelous shave. Pictured gap is with handle locked up tight.

Very nice indeed!

Leresche/Supermax BDT. These last two shaves with my shave oil have convinced me to keep it in the routine. The Leresche is smoother than the Rotbart, no gap, gets its feel strictly from exposure. Brilliant shave.
