1928 popular #4 traveler
1930s new gold tuckaway
1930s Richwood gold
1936 aristocrat deluxe
1934 #44 rfb new
1930s #77 flat bottom new lc
1934 common bar new sc
1946/7 gold aristocrat
Pre war fat handle tech
Ball end tech
Aluminium tech
1940s superspeed
1950s flare tip superspeed
1950s HD Rocket
1950s red tip superspeed
1950s #22 aristocrat
1958 D1 Toggle
1961 Fatboy
1960s slim twist
1964 slim
1968 109 super adjustable
1960s travel tech
Off the top of head.. maybe more

I'm thinking I still need a

New deluxe
Red ring

And????? Any other suggestions? Thought of black handle superspeed but doubt it would be a razor I reach for much. Would have to be a cheap pickup.

You've got to reach out a little my friend, there's a glorious, wonderful place out there where vintage single edge razors live! Many who stray from the DE path never return, because of the beauty and carefree shaves that abound. Dare to be a man, shave like a man, take your first step with a 1912, any 1912, be it GEM, Ever~Ready, Star, or the slightly different Treet. Go, and be enlightened with the wisdom of your ancestors, Nirvana is yours for the taking!

Sorry TobyC, but I think you're suffering OCD. :)
