Sorry, can't help with the ID of the straight but it sure looks like it has had the biscuit.
The TTO, turn to open, Gillette looks like a Flair Tip and the 3 piece looks like Tech model of some sort. Not really up on Gillette DEs.
You can find date code info here http://www.renaldo.us/grbd.php and here http://www.razorarchive.com/gillette-date-codes .

Forget the straight razor...Its chipped. That tto looks clean. Hit it with some polish. Its made in England.. I doubt its a real Gillette. but what do I know. You can see the tap marks on the edge. Someone tapped it against the sink. That tap tap tap sound...Ya that tto looks nice. Those Blue Blades are a + for sure. Sweet
They look like from around the 30's 40's. You can't get exact on straight razors. But with the others you can get a production run.
Here ya go..

polish it up and throw in a blade...
As far as I know Gillette produced DE razors in England and Canada too besides in the USA.Quote:

Both are gilettes made in England. The tto was my grandfathers and unfortunately dad had it stashed in a bathroom cupboard for many years and had light rusting on it but came up well and the 3 piece my dads uncle who passed in may at 100. The straight I just cut from the top down and made a new toe. Slightly shorter but in good condition overall.
Ps from the code on the tto was 1926 I think. Had brit pat 694093 on inside
They didn't come out with the flair tips until the 50's.Quote:

It's possible they could have used a different coding for the ones in England
Yes, apparently English made Gillette s did not have a date code and were referred to as Rockets not Supper Speeds as the US ones were. Here is a thread that looks to be very informative Gillette Rocket, the refined DE. | TheShaveDen .

Thanks for the link Bob. Now I know it's a flare tip rocket and can research that for more specific information.
The other is, in my opinion, an "Aluminum Ball Tech.Travel Razor which came in many different packages around the globe.

Ebay ended listing here:

and:
Gillette 1963 Spiral Handle Ball End Tech Safety Razor w/ Blue Snap Case - Made in England - Razor Emporium
Similar if not exact
Have fun!

Looks like you have the identifying pretty much squared away. It is nice to know some background on the razors you have and particularly so if there is a family connection. Thanks for asking the question in the first place because I learned a lot myself about Gillette razors from it.
Bob
Very nice DE's Ed (and sentimental too)! I've just started taking notice of the Gillette adjustables, they're great.
Thanks James. Haven't really had anything to do with DE'S but as from family wanted to know about them and may give them a shot. Found more info on the flare tip. http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/One...ite%20case.JPG
Also found this site great listed by year gives country of origin, pats , model number etc
