I've been acquiring razors from lots on eBay and the wild (antique shops) and have several I just don't use at all. They deserve to be used, and I'm trying to save up to visit my girlfriend when she studies abroad in Belfast this spring.

Left to right, top to bottom:

Gillette Old Type SOLD
No date code (1921-1929). This razor has cracks in the handle, both top and bottom (which is common for razors from this era). No bent teeth, very little plating loss. I'm asking $12 shipped CONUS.

1960 (F1) Gillette Blue Tip SOLD
User grade Blue Tip. Paint is probably 90% and the plating has some strange patterns on the handle and the head. Some brassing on the inside of the safety bars. This razor is good mechanically. Asking $15 shipped CONUS.

1960 (F1) Super Speed SOLD
This SS is in pretty good condition. It has the 1940/1950s (thicker) style head as opposed to the 1960/1970s (thinner) style head. Mechanically perfect, little to no plating loss. Asking $15 shipped CONUS.

1957 (C2) Blue Tip SOLD
This Blue Tip is user grade. There is one strange thing about it: the aluminum just under the head (the neck?) is not polished. The handle has some dings/dents, but the head and the paint are in very nice condition. TTO works very nicely. Asking $15 shipped CONUS.

1976 (W1) Black Handle Super Speed SOLD
This SS is in pretty good condition. No plating loss, some light scratches on the head. TTO works very nicely. Asking $15 shipped CONUS.

1973 (T4) Black Handle Super Speed
User grade: paint loss on the handle, some strange patterns on the head, but no plating loss. TTO works fine. Asking $12 shipped CONUS.

I would also be willing to trade for blades, soaps, creams, and brushes. I'm pretty new to this, so I haven't tried much - shoot me an offer. If you buy more than one razor, the price will come down some because of lower shipping cost. I'm also willing to combine for trades. PayPal only.

More pictures can be added upon request.

I am told one of you gentlemen paid for an F1 blue tip, but received the C2 blue tip that I paid for. I have your F1 razor, so please send ddustin a private message so we can straighten this out.

Thank you!
