    The Third, Fourth, Fifth pic are a GEM 1912 model. The sixth pic show a bakelite Gillette Tech razor, Valet Autostrop, Schick Injector Type E. In the last pic you have a Christy razor. Nice scores.

    Thanks sledghammer, are any of them worth investing in? I kinda like the skinny one "kristy?" Are any of them rare or have collector value?

    The Christy uses a proprietary blade which has not been produced in a long time. The GEM 1912 and Schick injector are great razors and the blades are still being produced.

    Good to know hammer, I may go back and snatch the travel one.

    The Valet in the box with the strop is in essentially new condition. It is the last model Valet produced (mid 1940's and a Gillette product by that time). It uses a proprietary blade. You can still get a blade made by Feather that will fit it, or use the old stock blades (still available on eBay to a limited extent). I shaved with one of these today as a matter of fact. One of my favorite razors.
