I think he's taking the flat 5th on that ............
Not cool ......... Sorry to hear that,mate........
Shaved today with my 1921 Canadian pocket set I received a week ago (ebay). Forgot to take a before pic, but it was mighty grungy. Still have some work to do on the knurling, polish-wise, but overall it looks really good for 94 years old. Shaves a bit more aggressive than I'm used to. I'll have to make adjustments to my angle from now on. Still, can't deny the craftsmanship of a Gillette.
Heysi, I don't know if you noticed, but your handle is a bit different than the standard Ball End handle. It's the ball part that's odd. Is it open on the end? Most Ball End handles have a flat disk shaped end. I don't know if it is significant, but it is kind of cool. Some Canadian handles are different than the norm. It appears you have another unusual Canadian handle on your razor. Cool!
Maybe I'm mistaken? It may just appear different to me because of camera angle or something.
Looks like a regular ball end handle.
Well, I must be mistaken then. I don't know why, but the very bottom looks different.
Thank you gentlemen. It's always fun to be able to see and share some of the "acquisitions" we all make on this thread. Not good for the RAD thoughRhodium IS good indeed!!
Congrats and enjoy!
Mormon Bridge. Here's a better photo of the ball end.
You can also see the Made In Canada stamp and a bit of the trademark stamp on the lower unknurled portion of the handle.

Thank you Heysi, I can see now I was mistaken. Those Old Types are great shavers, I'm sure it will provide many years of service for you. Thanks again for showing the last photo. I definitely was mistaken. Have a good day!
Sorry, sir.
