My NEW Standard...It's a Jewel (not the gem, the singer)

I had a bent tooth like that... i gently coaxed it to closer to where it should be... but that's NOT for the faint of heart

Not for the faint of heart at all. Hurts like hell.

The thread was 'A new Gillette razor'. Krona you posted in it. In that Mr. Razor identified mine as one of the first 'New Improved' razors because of the early serial numbers. Possum

The serial #7982868 on mine

Thanks. That one has the more usual argyle-pattern knob. It looks like Gillette mixed these diamond-pattern knobs in with regular production, though. I have 339221A with diamond-pattern, and 224689A with argyle-pattern. Gillette liked to confuse us.

Found it, thanks. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showth...-an-antique-show-today!?p=4038610#post4038610 now lists the diamond-pattern knobs I have heard about.

Thanks. That clarifies things a lot more. I like these razor idiosyncrasies, it feeds my RAD.
