    That would be a 1941 Ranger Tech and a 1941 Milord. I've owned older razors but have settled in to keeping only one's that I use. :D

    Mine would be a 40's SS, a great shaver :D My oldest straight is well over 100 years old and is a fantastic shaver :cool:

    WoW

    Thanks for the list Guys I just picked up 1959 Fat boy and a 1963 slim

    I like the look of the older stuff I can't wait to try them out to see how different they shave . Thats got to be great to have so many different razors in someones collection and still use them

    I guess I got my first antique store find under my belt and I'm hooked it was fun cleaning them up

    Have used but no longer: 1960 Gillette Fatboy or Slim (I forget)
    Sometimes use: Schick Krona (I think from the 70s)
    Normally use: Merkurs (My pride and joy :D)

    I have several old Gillettes, 1906-1970-something. Single Ring, New, several SS, Fat Boy, Super Adjustable, etc. Oh, and a gold Slant. Every time I use any of them (especially the SA), I really wish I hadn't. Always go back to the Merkur head of the Chatsworth.

    You can donate those bad boys to TSD anytime, Michael. ;)

    You know you need a soap fix anyway. :D

    Yeah, or I could sell 'em for $60-80 a pop. :D

    And I'll be dead before I use all the soap I already have!
