Unsure believe it to be a ballhandle tech

You did very well.

If the richwood hasn't the usual crack in the handle, it's a steal. Either way it's still a good buy.

I think the second is a NEW Ball Handle. Which is better than the more plain Tech.

The experts will jump on this soon....

:biggrin: I'm bored at work. Then again it's 7.10 PM. I should be at home.

Looks like this one, doesn't it?

I think you got a good buy on the Richwood - it's a great razor - my New Improved is one of my favorites - and yours seems to be a very nice set!

I'm thinking the second one is a Gillette Old Style, based on the fact that the razor uses two "bullet" aligners, and not the NEW's single bar. If it's like the one I got for Christmas, it'll have "PAT NOV 15.04" on the handle above the ball. I'd say its at least a couple of decades older than 1950's.
