awesome! thanks. I was hoping some were older but at least I understand how to read that chart better now!
 
I didn't get this this week (a mate sent it from Australia about 3 months ago) but I've just got around to cleaning it... a 1930s British New, with something quite important missing... handle is crackless! :w00t:

That looks very nice! I love the head on those razors, I have a couple but unfortunately for me it seems a bit too aggressive for my face.
 
I just won these on Ebay:

Another package from Pro Shave today:

Dovo silvertip travel brush
Anthony razor burn repair
Merkur Progress
A puck of Mitchell's Wool Fat
Proraso/Omega prof. boar brush

The MWF and boar brush are birthdaypresents for my old man. After having used the Palmolive shaving stick for 40+ years it is disppearing from the Danish market - and his 12+ years old Omega boar brush is in dire need of a replacement.


Regards.

Almost bought a Case Red Imp, but I saw the TV and forgot all about it.
 
got this off the bay. Is this the bull dog?

thanks

Nope, that is a 40's Aristocrat. One of Gillette's finest TTO razors to shave with in my opinion. Love these razors. Open the silo doors to see if the center bar is notched and we can date it more accurately! Nice!:smile:

Not only that but the D1 looks to be a TV special I think. Can't see the knurling pattern too clearly but the date code is right and it looks different from the other flare tip superspeed.

and I will not post how much I got it for but I got a great deal I was the second high bidder on that, I will post it when I get it, have been looking for one as a keeper and this might be it but as you know images are deciving sometimes ... thank you for your help
 
Think it is a mismatch? The 30's Aristocrats were all open comb I thought. This is a solid safety bar no endcaps (by design) no notch gold Aristocrat.

Thanks for any more info! Much appreciated!
