The handle is pristine. The head shows some wear but the tines are perfect. The case opens and closes perfectly.

More pictures and details will be in its St. Sue Auction description.

I've been shamefully non-contributory to my favorite B&B thread for quite some time. Sorry. Here are a couple, a 1910 silver floral ABC set from the bay, and a silver Tuckaway set from the wild ($12).

Nice scores Gents.

Fishertwin, could you please share the date code of the flower ABC set?

Those are beauties! Congrats and congratulations to all on the awesome scores! I need to catch up! :001_smile

Here is a Schick Krona I picked up yesterday. I would class this as user grade. What do you all think?

Thank you. Your US made set has the machined combed plate (the shaft attaches to a countersunk circle) like British sets and I was curious when it was manufactured.

My "lucky" batch arrived. The Slim twist is nearly mint, I learnt wet shaving with a similar one belonging to my father. The Vienna case has a 50% plate loss, but the interior is in very nice condition.

I'm afraid that I tend not to notice details like that.

I love the look of these razor sets! Great scores Fishertwin.

Found this in the wild last week. I believe it is a 1950/51 Aluminum English Tech. I've shaved with it a few times, very mild but can get a 3 or 4 pass DFS with no irritation or without opening weepers from previous shaving errors.

A 1956 B2 red tip super speed. Been wanting one again sold my first red tip and have been KICKING MYSELF in the you know what ever since. Love the shave I get from a red tip.

The only Down side is I have to WAIT 2 days to shave again.

Morman Bridge · Aug 24, 2016

Hello all. Great scores everyone! [MENTION=107963]SaskShaver[/MENTION] - that particular model of Tech razor is my favorite Tech. They are the best shaving Techs I have. Did you notice the handles are slightly shorter than a standard US made Tech?

The above photo is my three Techs like yours. They can be found in many different sets. God Bless, and have a great night!

Hey Alan, beautiful razors. I'll have to check the handle lengths. Unfortunately my other Techs are all fat handles. I'll have to rectify that situation.

Vintage Ukranian Safety Razor Ajustable "северодонецк - 1" ("Severodonetsk - 1)

http://www.ebay.es/itm/311675610455?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

I know the ad says $20, but I made a lowball offer of $15 which was accepted
The tuck of Sputnik blades are a very nice touch too

Arrived today after only 10 days delivery time between Ukraine and Spain

I think it's a Russian clone of a Gillette Fatboy because it's handle is shorter, fatter and stubbier than the handle on my Ideal Adjustable (Russian clone of a Gillette Slim/Super Adjustable
The photos show side by side comparisons with my Ideal Adjustable

I'll review the razor after my shave tomorrow morning
