I started off with a healthy tax refund, then I finally ordered the VFD for my grinder. I also added 6 razors to my collection, and soon to be 7. Yesterday after much searching I found a 40s Super Speed to buy so I snapped it up. It wont get here for a couple of weeks, but its coming all the same. That leaves me only two more razors to find on my must have list. Both are not common razors, first off there is the New Improved. That will cover me for all the major product changes in the Gillette line, Old Type, New Improved, New, Tech, TTO, and Adjustable. The other razor is just pure sex appeal to my eyes. That would be a #16 or #21 British Aristocrat, but I would prefer the #21

Pictures are from Mr Razor's site and very helpful for dating older Gillette razors, not so good if you have RAD:o All sorts of other stuff there too like old ads and instructions. I tend to visit the site once or twice a week.
 
Those Aristocrats are beautiful!

I just sold a gold 1928 New Improved with case last month. I would have offered it here if I had known you were looking. It was a very good shaver, I just don't use DEs anymore.

That British razor looks un-used and a very nice piece of gear indeed!

I'm amazed where you find all this stuff, must cost a fortune...

Oh I wish that was mine, but it is just a picture of one from a a razor site I drool over, kind of like porn for the wet shaver:D
