    Glad to be back to TSD with an offering of unusual & effective bakelite razors & a few user grade razors that are great shavers and priced as shaver-grade (rather than collector-grade) razors. Hope you find something here you'll like. PM interest -- and payment via Paypal.

    First up is this totally plastic or bakelite razor -- no metal anywhere I can see on this simple design. Weighs very little so it requires some finesse to get a good & close shave. Excellent for traveling.

    Next is another bakelite razor with a metal screw for attaching the head to the handle. In a Gillette case that seems to fit perfectly, but this is not likely a Gillette-made razor. Slightly heavier than the 1st razor, but still a very light and simple razor.

    Next is a bakelite slant razor -- relatively heavy -- compared to the previous 2 -- and bulkier than usual bakelite razors. It is a slant design with a flaw that will be displayed in several of the photos below. A very unusual and nicely designed no-name razor. (Perhaps someone knows its name.) If you've been wanting to try out a slant, here's a unique one.

    You can see that a corner of the section under the metal plate has been chipped. It doesn't affect the shave at all -- but it is unfortunately no longer perfect.

    You can also see this chipped section in this photo.

    Next is a fat handled tech in a bakelite or plastic case. This set is in very good shape but the head doesn't seem to polish up perfectly. Nonetheless this razor is the excellent Tech design -- better than most of the modern DE razors and a real classic among us traditionalists.

    Looks pretty shiny, but not perfect.

    Great design and decent heft with the fat handled Tech.

    And finally here's an ABC Old Style Pocket Edition frankenrazor. Great case, blade holder, and handle -- but the head is from a Tech. Sorry it is not the whole picture and I hope you can find a replacement head (maybe you already have one). The handle is slightly brassed but no split -- it is solid. And the case is missing its catch so it will not actually latch shut. Nonetheless it is a beautiful case.

    How disappointing when I saw that mismatched head.
