    Default Time to play... NAME THAT HAUL

    On "Name That Haul", we take ebay auctions with blurry cell camera pictures and try to guess what razors were included.

    This week's lucky contestant paid ~$32 for everything included in this photo of vintage razors taken with a vintage cell phone camera.

    NAME THAT HAUL!

    Schicks: E or G-type and I-type injectors, a Krona DE, plus what looks like a box of Krona-edge injector blades in the back
    GEMs: 3 Micromatics, probably open-comb, and a push-button
    Gillettes: Blue-tip, Flare-tip, Contract Tech, Super-Adjustable, and a gold ball-end Tech (possibly an Old Type) in a Ranger Tech box
    Some kind of vintage shave-stick container, and a Personna 74 DE blade dispenser (which looks empty).

    I could only pick out a couple of those but $32 for that score is great!

    Alas it wasn't me. $32 for the superadjustable and blue tip by themselves wouldn't be a bad deal.

    Long comb NEW for sure. Handle is too fat for a tech. Good eye Porter

    The old type in the case has too thick a handle to be a ball end tech.

    Alright guys, you might be wondering why this thread is stickied all of a sudden.

    It's because we're gonna make this a regular thing in the Safety Razor forum! Basically, we'll keep this thread going with a steady supply of awful, blurry photos like the one insomniac posted here. Maybe we'll set it up where someone posts a photo and then whoever guesses the identity of the razor(s) in that photo gets to go next. I'm not sure yet. Tell me what you think.

    And if we can't find accidentally awful photos, I suppose it would be okay to make them awful in Photoshop for the purpose of this thread.

    OK, this sounds like fun. Does an individual razor count? This one caught my eye:

    I don't see any hint of a flare on the TTO knob, which makes me question the TV Super Speed guess. It has a 40s Super Speed shape to me, though that is not my official guess. I'm stumped and sitting this one out.
