Already posted a picture of these in the Score forum, but thought I'd share it with you razor heads. The seller wanted $5.00 a piece, but I got all four for $15.00. I'm pretty happy.

Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed (F2, 1960)
Gillette Flare Tip Superspeed (C1, 1957)
Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf
Gold Gillette Long-combed New (1930s)

The Superspeeds will probably get PIF'd, but I'm keeping the Gem and the New!

Very nice! I don't know if you've used a Clog pruf before or not, but they're great razors.

Not yet, but I'm looking forward to giving it a try. I've been experimenting with a Gem open comb Micromatic, and while it gives extremely close shaves, it might be a little too aggressive for my tastes. I've heard that the Clog Pruf is a little gentler...might be just right for me! :tongue_sm

I think you'll find that it is. The CP seems to provide a pretty good balance between the open comb and the Flying Wing, which is a lot milder. It's my favorite of the Micromatic lineup.
