It say $6 on the packaging which in 1911 would be about $150 today
... this!!!
So I had wanted to try DE razors for a bit but I am far too frugal for my own good. I stumbled across a cigar box full of razors for $5 at an estate sale, and this what it contained.
Not bad for money I don't think. Any help identifying the older ones on the left would be appreciated The fourth from the left is stamped "Property of U.S. Army" also don't mind my dirty desk lol.

Sweet find! Congrats.
What they look like to me: NEW, NEW, Old, Old, Tech, Tech, Red Tip Superspeed, Tech. The one at the top also looks like an Old Type.

A couple of NEWs, sir!
Great score!!! Congrats!
Great score!!! Congrats!
1 & 2 are NEWs (I cannot tell Long Comb or Short Comb with those pics)
3 & 4 are both Old Types, with #4 looking like it has a mismatched handle from the 50's
5, 6, & 8 are all Tech's - If the slots on the base plat are oblong, they are 1946-1950, if triangular, then they are considered pre-War (1938-1945)
7 is a Red Tip

You basically just bought about 45 years of Gillette history for $5. Not bad. Congrats!
Great score. I need to find a case for mine. Enjoy your adventure. That is a fine piece of shaving equipment.Gillette Aristocrat #66

i look forward to trying it out.

Very Excited to use this one. My 1918 Single ring arrived today and She is definitely a beauty.
Here is the Before Photos as I received it, (The case interior is in great condition, however it is missing the top portion of the securing strap. No Worries there though I am just impressed with the condition of the velvet and the markings inside).

And after a Little TLC She cleaned up beautifully!!!!
I am very pleased with this one and now to go and give her a test drive

Great scores everyone! I love reviewing this thread!
Here's my most recent $15 score-
The blade case is the most interesting thing I've gotten in a while. It is all metal. Can anyone identify this blade case? Maybe help me pin down what year it was made? I've never seen a tin like the big one either. Note the inscription on the inside of the lid. Any input is appreciated. And thanks for looking!
