I need you to come and give me hunting lessons. Very nice finds. Congrats. Enjoy your adventure.
1946 Ranger Tech in very good condition.
Yes. I figured I would pick it up. Did I get hurt?
Only if you dropped it on your foot. Lol
This one came in by post today -
No markings anywhere, but from the feel of the metal it seems to be stainless steel - it's in very good condition too.
Any guesses about what this actually is?

Nice hauls, gentlemen!
lwt210 - is that an old type or new type? Looks like old to me, but not sure. Looks lovely though - great condition.
Billy - Nice looking old and the straight.

Today I stopped at an antique store that I've driven by several times. It was "too small" to justify stopping but I had some time to kill. I think it was worth it. This was my score from that single shop. Some of them need some SERIOUS cleaning, but for what I paid, I'll take it!!
This appears to be a 1930s Somerset or Norfolk (I can't find the differences in these) and a 1934 Red and Black set.
What looks like a military set, but has no serial number info, a Y4 Tech, and a D3 Flare Tip Super Speed.
1931-35 Gillette Goodwill from the Bakelite presentation case.
G1 Gillette Fatboy
1921 Gillette Big Fellow (Old Style)
Continued with last pic in next post because Tapatalk only allows 5 attachments, apparently.

Hey, just found a '61 Fatboy and a '40 Super Speed (I think). Down at the local swap shop. $20 for both. Cant wait to get em cleaned up and give em a whirl.

Picked up a NEW in the Wild today. It came with a Gillette Red Tip box!
Just took it for a ride after cleaning and boy does it give a great shave. I would compare it to a 50's flare tip. Just right using a wilkinson blade.

Found this vintage Merkur slant at an antique mall last week.
With the heavy patina and grime, I really couldn't identify the maker-- the razor is identical to my Hoffritz slant. In any event, it cleaned up nicely with a baking soda and hot water bath in an aluminum pan, followed by a gentle polishing with Maas.
