I dont know how they get the grippy made on them. But i figure a tube is run through some type of tube shaped press.
Still , I do agree with seeing razors put together with parts. But this was not...

I just had to share this...

I decided to send a few razors to Chris over at Back Roads Gold for some attention. I asked his opinion on a couple of them and had a few other razors I wanted to be...

:rofl2::beer1:

Im with ya. I set an adjustable the way i like it and do all my passes. I know some people like to dial it down each pass. Does it help? I dont really know. Cant remember to try it.

My birth year razor is the first Tech on the list. When I got into Safety Razors I found a list of Gillettes and collected all of my Birth year razors. Only 5 but I got them all. Then I wanted more...

On with the show...

Here is a peek into my Gillette Tech Collection. Every razor is different by one or more things.

Gillette Tech, Ball End, Nickel Plated, Oval...

I did not know about this box. Very cool. So it kinda hands it to you. That is a nice-looking razor.

I just saw a Rose Gold Razor as a SOTD so it made me want to post a pic of mine. I love the color Rose Gold.
Mine is a Baili Rose Gold 3-piece DE Razor. It shaves very mildly but holds the blade...

I had a decusion about that picture on a different site. The exact picture was used to show the Aristicrat junior. So one of them are wrong. The best conclusion we were able to make was the super...

1947 Milord.
As far as I know, they only came in Gold. They look very much like the 1940s/Original Super Speed but the flat area on the top of the handle just above the knurling makes it a Milord....

Nice Slim, Paul. Great adjustable razors to have. Cant go wrong with that. What blade do you prefer?

Guessing the top cap has a threaded rod and the bottom of the handle twists to lock it down.

That gillette looks like a rocket since it doesn't have the twisted knurled handle. Still a nice set...

I read that the head on this actually has a spring action. It sounds very interesting. I will look around and see if I can find one of these. Hey, If Geezer said it was good, I surely won't argue...

Here are two of my out-of-the-ordinary Safety Razors. And yes, I've shaved with both of them.

The Pomcomatic uses a standard DE Razor Blade and with the help of the battery will vibrate...

Nice!
Never seen that one before.

That was cool. Thanks for sharing that. If i run across one i will have to pick it up.

Quit using that dirt E word. I will have to Ban You! :nono:

Another detail about the flare tips... US made razors the blue tip was very mild, non colored or standard was medium and red tip was the most aggressive of the flare tips. In the British made there...

I have a battery driven DE that vibrates. I gave it a test shave. Gimmick for sure but I had to give it a try.
Same thing, a very heavy DE in the end

Nice. Never seen that one before. Winding with every pass does sound like a pita. Since it looks like a DE does it just vibrate? I don't see any way to have spinning blades.

What I think I havent listed or showed are two British made flare tips. These you can tell by the space between the tip and the handle and if it is marked with a single I (I)or a triple I (III) on...

Here are a few Flare-tip Gillettes. Yes, they are all different.

Black Handle, Blue Tip, Red Tip, Standard Flare Tip, British Flare tip #2, TV Special.

I know there...

I was thinking the same thing. Lol.

We got some nice pics. Thanks for posting. I'm not sure a straight with a guard is considered a safety razor but why not. :shrug:

No idea what that is, Tim. Is it one of those electrics made for the head?

This next one is the First Schick razor. This was before the Injector which was called the Repeater. Made by the Magazine Repeater Razor Company. The handle had a cartridge of blades in it and you...
