Thread: antique store find

That razor is in great shape considering its age(era). Let us know what you think of the shaves.

i have a speed king ,a fatboy ,and a mid 30s segal and if your pressed for time they give great shaves imho.im a hard core straight man and theres somthing to be said about the zen from honing your straights to me thats half the fun .jmo

Actually, that's a Gillette old-type head. The set is the 'Standard', but the razor is a single-ring.

Lovely, smooth shavers. I have a bunch of old-type models, and I really like them.

This was followed by the 'New Improved' heads (models had many names - one of which was the New Standard), and then by the NEW. Note that the New Standard would have had a completely different head from this one.

Here's a New Standard:

Your find is probably the Gillette "New Standard" safety razor. It's an oldie. Enjoy it.
