    Never had a Gotta so I won't comment. I had a C.V. Heljestrand a while back and like an idiot sold it. Now, as far as the Joseph Rodgers & Sons goes, of all the razors I've tried JR&Sons are the best shaving and I love all of mine, wouldn't consider parting with any of them.

    My grandfathers on both sides of my family had straight razors but my Aunts & Uncles disposed of them long ago and I would love to have one of them. Being those were your Grand dad's I would get them shave ready, use, keep and treasure them.

    Look to be nice, high quality razors. The Heljie is most likely Bakelite and the Gotta definitely celluloid. The Rogers seems to be a heavy, bone, possibly ivory. hard to tell from the pics.

    I rest my case.

    Indeed...As all the previous posts have noted. You have three quality vintage razors there.

    I can attest, from personal experience with each, that they are all great shavers.
