got the first two of the four ebay razors. they look to be in very good shape

no serial numbers or dates.

46'-'50 Techs. Congrats.

Congrats on the gold Techs.

Do remember there is an acquisition thread for DE razors in the Stickies. http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/365061-Safety-Razor-Acquisition-Thread

ah.. did not know that. thanks. if a mod can move me that would be great

Great razors! The only razor I have multiples of are my Techs. I love how they shave and I suspect you will enjoy them.

Anyone know what years the faint Gillette logo appeared on the top caps?



Sorry, kinda hard to photograph -- at least here in my light.

It's OK, just wasn't sure if you knew it was there.

At least as early as '46-'50, according to the Wiki, and I don't think I've seen a pre war with that etching, might be wrong though.

And this different style appeared in the 50s?
