*Pics* My collection of NEWS

Proud papa here;

It is with great pleasure I give you these for your viewing enjoyment.

I do have a 34? CRat and a sheraton in the tto section lower left, as those are must haves.

Probak comb plate on right, awaiting handle.

March of the Hammers

Edgar, remember the previous discussion?






See middle handle. Squared off shoulder, and a completely different grip pattern.

The Norfolk/Tuckaways
New English Stuff (my new pursuit)

Wow, I'm sooooooo jealous.

No Deluxe in there? or an RFB?

I have one deluxe (march of hammers). It's the 15mm variety,

Plus, I think the non-Norfolk tuckaways are deluxes? Or improved maybe? Eh, never can keep those straight.



RFB?

Daaang you have one for every day of the month. My wife would flip!!

Pics of the Deluxe please.

The Tuckaways are New Improved, with a short handle, meant as a travel razor.

RFB - Raised Flat Bottom - these are English AFAIK.

Matt, that isn't a collection, that's a HERD of endangered species!

No small effort obtaining each specimen. My hat's off to you!

And thanks for sharing with pics!!!

Man Guru17, great closeup! What are you using to get such fine macro pics?

You have a fine eye and steady hand...

Thanks David, but that's just a pic taken with my cellphone. It has a 'TEXT' mode which helps in such situations.

Amazing! I hadn't appreciated phone cams much until now! Still, it does not detract from your eye and hand skills...

Cheers -David

Holy Gillette!

Very nice!!

Nice collection, Matt. Thanks for sharing!

As for the bar handle, I still think it is one of these:

http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/The NEW/1934 Red and Black DeLuxe.JPG

Here you see it with a DeLuxe head, but that's not what really matters. I think it is one of these, and it was excessively buffed before replating.

You also have there at least 2 RFBs, if my eyes didn't fail me. One is obviously the #77, and is that a #88 (same as #77 but different case) next to the English Flat Bottom in the bakelite case, 6th picture?

Also, what's the razor in the case right bellow? The one with a Tech Handle? If the handle came originally with that head, most likely another RFB, since only these came with that handle style.

The case is a mismatch though, likely for a #15 SB or a Popular.

Oh and btw ... New Improved don't count, they're not NEWs!

I was wondering where they all went...
