Another Razor Id
I'm looking for any informations about razor on the right hand side. It looks like Tech but it has a different tip. Any thoughts appreciated.
Maciek.

Thanked: 1185The heads both look like Old Style Single Rings however the knobs on the bottom of the handle are not a match for that model.
The older I get, the better I was

Gentlemen:
I can only guess the razor is one of the models of the old style Gillette razor. From what I understand, these razors came with some variations. This could be the case. Everything about the two razors is similar except for the ball end.

Thanked: 67As people have already mentioned, both those razors have Gillette 'Old-style' heads. The one on the left has the traditional ball-end Old handle.
The one on the right has a handle style I haven't seen on a Gillette before. It's most likely that the handle is from another razor brand. Most of these razors (from whichever manufacturer) have the same pitch on the threads on the head-cap, so handles are interchangeable. Very frequently, you'll find razors with mismatched handles (especially as the 'Old-type' razors handles split pretty frequently on the barrel, and so replacement handles were used).
EDIT: I see now that you're from Poland. If you picked the razor up from an European source, it's almost certain to be a replacement handle.
There were many, many Gillette-like razors manufactured by various companies in Europe, and the handles would be interchangeable with Gillette heads.
SECOND EDIT: I just saw your other post, with more pics. Since the barrel of the handle is fused to the comb, I'd say that the razor was a Gillette Single Ring (version of the old-type head). The ball-end on that handle doesn't match with any of the Gillette models I'm aware of, so perhaps it was a makeshift replacement.
Can't say for sure, though.Last edited by yohannrjm; 06-04-2011 at 06:44 PM.

The ball end looks like someone put an acorn knob or thumb screw on it.
