the mascot is a 1933 made by PRYBRANDS INC, of long island ny, its a copy of the gillette brownie comb guard knarled handle. the 2nd one is a 1921 old type with a unique ball end handle with a hole in it..looks like this one from mr razors site.

I think Alex's post was really helpful, but if you need more info, perhaps you could be specific as to what kind of info you need? Keep in mind, you are asking for help - being a little gracious goes a long way.

So, aside from make, model, and year - what are you looking for?

which one do you need more info on , the mascot? its a twin of the gillette brownie, i used it before and it's a mild to agressive shaver, the 2nd razor is a ball end type, also mild/agressive razor by my experience. i hope that helped

For one, these are made in England. I think that will imply what more info' can be had Sir

Alex is known friend and in touch from time to time. I do not think I have offended him in any way whatsoever.

Alex, that was really nice of you and thanks. Having used both razors your input on their shave behaviour is most welcome.

These razors are both made in England.......long islands ny....do not seem to fit. Can it be that these were outsourced to England for manufacture. Especially the Mascot is a brownie lookalike and you are right on that score. But the Made in England stamp has me foxed.

Thanks anyway for the education my friend. Has the Super Speed shaped up well ?

What I meant is that since "the mascot is a 1933 made by PRYBRANDS INC, of long island ny, its a copy of the gillette brownie comb" this is just a Gillette with a Mascot head OR a Mascot with a Gillette base plate, sorry I thought that would have been fairly obvious,
