Some Christmas coffee light reading and restoration works ...

Interesting... I have one of those metal Gillette cartridge handles in my drawer at work.
(one of the guys here owns and antique store)

For carts they are the best around IMHO - but I will be unlikely to use them :)
 
Thanks man, looks like they do! :) Never heard of those shops before.
Your welcome..I ordered a few soaps at once, shipping worked out similar to Maggards that way and seemed more worthwhile ! Only found them recently myself after searching high and low determined to get some lol
 
Good to see you trying straights @Mark1966 - but those look like they need a little bit of work before use :ROFLMAO:

I was going to list them on eBay, NOS or mint? Good condition?

Yeah. wasn't purchased for them :)
 
My first fat handle tech and via the wild. It's a 1940s English one with the slots and I'm chuffed. Handle itself has some funky home repair but that and the slight verdigris meant I could get it down to $10. Head is in okay nick for its age now that I've given it a vigorous brass brush and then polish. It's amazing how these old razors come up with some elbow grease.
