All nice looking razors. Congratulations.

Good start to a collection! The first is a Tech head frankenrazor. The nickel flare tip is the TV Special, nice find!

Send me a PM to remind me to dig around in my junk stuff. I may have an open comb new head so you can have the right razor in that Red and Black set.

Here is what you are getting. It will clean up to be nice brass.

Very well done. Congrats on the quadruplets.

Nice haul!

I did the same thing and wound up with a small pile, myself. I had a series of auctions (all in about a week) where I won as the sole bidder. I didn't mind too much, as it wasn't much money.

SWMBO, though, gave me a little grief as the boxes kept showing up. "Do you just buy everything you see???" I still chuckle about that a bit.

My girlfriend: " you spent how much on USED razors?!?!"

I just told her it's cheaper than guns (more other main hobby) lol

Fairly ugly razor, Scott. But it doesn't touch the Red and Black you sold me a few years back

No, there are a few things I buy sight unseen.

Oh, man! I wish I had thought of that! That would have been worth a night in the doghouse!

By the way, OP, it looks like that mystery Tech you have actually is a Tech head ('40s, I think) on a NEW Red & Black set handle and with the Red & Black set case. Nice pickup!

Does this ring a bell?


Pretty sure this is the one

It is. It won't be a Frankenrazor for much longer.
