Fathers Day treat - Grandads razors - but need some help with ID.
Awsome score on the weekend for Fathers Day.
My father gave me his father's shavers & brush.
1st item - is a Gillette DE made in England #58 from what I can find on the web but it has no box so don't know if it is the 1953 Corrination limited edition but it is in awsome condition
2nd item - the brush is a Butterfly pure Brissle - looks like boar and about as stiff as a broom compared to my badger brush
3nd item -is a bit of a mystery to me - it is a Merx & Co. 250 Gamerx I am shure this is how it reads

I have only been able to find 1 Merx & Co on SRP & 1 on Ebay that was a #119 but not the Gamerx?
So my question is, does anyone know anything about this razor at all or the Merx Company?
since as the DE is a from around 1953 I am assuming it would be older than that, as my old boy said he remembers my Granddad shaving with it "shacking like he was sh!ting razor blades" in the mornings when he was very young, after the usual nightly liver work out.
It also has a 3 pin set up but no wedge, has anyone seen this before either?
any help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers D
