Hi, Straight is a 6/8" in width, full hollow, vintage French razor with "Morlaix" stamp.On the backside it is stamped “124 6/8”. It has a black case(not in the photo). The Turkey stone for razor sharpening is a hard to find item, sometimes labelled vintage Turkey stones go for around ...

A huge lot of 650 de blades, 1 razor, a shaving brush, and a pack of 20 styptic sticks. See the content below: 1) Blade lot(in 5 packs) Included brands: Perma-Sharp,Astra green pack, Astra blue, Rapira pink, Rapira white, Shark, Lord (made in Turkey, not the Egypt version), Zaza(made in Turkey, only...

Hi, I have excess double edge razor blades.(Astra, Rapira,Shark and a few others) approximately 200 blades from each brand. If you have extra razors maybe we can arrange an exchange. I prefer one piece old Gillette razors(superspeed and others). Gillette Slim Adjustable is what I seek most. The cond...

Well, acoustic indicates electric razors more due to their noise

I use soap and sometimes also isopropyl alcohol.

When it starts tugging I replace the blade. Also I check for rust on the blade between the shaves.

Here is the campaign for early 1966 for the next blade after yours. The one with the crowns on the pack, but not the word spoiler (it came along in November 1966).

On the good side they might have been exposed to air for 45 years and they don't look rusty.

There is K2 on them

They arrived. First blade was smooth but lasted less (2 shaves). Another thing there was no plastic wrapping around the metal dispenser. (So they are open to air) Were these sold in this way originally?

Yellow coated blades look cool

No decent razor making by blade makers implies they don't have much desire to continue this..

Hi,
I couldn't find any price on the site can you give me a link?

They didn't arrive yet. But it does not say "Super" on photos. Thanks for your help.

Hi,
How do the old Gillette Super Stainless blades compare to today's Yellow O'Clock blades (or others that you tried)? Thanks.
