Info on three razors

[Cicatriz]

I am wanting to get all the info on these three please.
If anybody has a book, values would be nice too.
Two of these came from my wife's grandfather. That's really all the history I have on them

Thanks

Scar, if you aren't able to find that information here, you may want to try badgerandblade, theshaveden, shaveready, or straighrazorplace.

Int the first picture the top one is a Gillette Fat Handled Tech, the triangular holes would make it a Pre WWII 1938-1942 I believe, that is about the best you will get for a date on it. The second one is a Schick G-type Injector (1946-1955) going by the case and razor design. I can't really help you with the straight razor, sorry. as for value they are worth what someone wants to pay for them, I have 3 Fat Handled Techs all pre WWII and the most I paid for one is $5 or $10 when I fist started collecting and using vintage Gillettes. I also have a Canadian Khaki Set that the Fat Handled Tech is in near mint condition. There are a lot of G-type Schicks out there still in flea markets and they are going for less than $15. With a case in good condition they could fetch more. If you are intent on selling them the best thing you could do is clean up the safety razor by soaking them in warm soapy water and giving them a light scrub with a soft tooth brush. then take lots of clean pictures that really show them off and post them on Ebay. Then sit back and hope that a couple of people get drawn in by the nice presentation and start a bidding war, I have seen some very nondescript common razors go for a lot more than they are worth on the bay

Personally I would just hold on to them because of the family history.

Thanks for all the info!
Probably will end up keeping them, they are too interesting.
I use an older two blade safety razor regularly anyway.

Haven't gotten the nerve to try a straight razor yet.
It's probably because the Barbour of Seville is my one and only favorite opera....

The older Techs like yours are a touch more aggressive than the later ones, still a fairly mild shave, but you can tell the difference between the two.
