  1. The 1940s were all about the "Techs". Tons of these were produced! If you find an old razor at a flea market, it'll probably be a Tech. People that shave with them, love them. The first pic is my oldest, notice how the slots in the guard are kinda triangle shaped, these were the first and are called "Pre-War Techs". Later ones had rectangular holes. They started out with the fat handle, but later ones had one piece ball end handles. Here is a comparison of the two ball handles used through history. The larger ball on the "Old Type" is three pieces pressed together. Most came apart over the years. The smaller ball handle on the Tech is a one piece handle.
  2. The 1930s produced the "New" razor design. (my favorite) Notice how Gillette still used the ball handle since I'm sure they still had surplus, then started with the fatter bar handle. Sometimes Gillette would introduce weird shit, like these "Goodwill" New types.
  3. From about 1921 to 1928 Gillette produced what is known as the "Old Type". You see how they were plated with gold, nickel, and the bottom is silver. Notice the ball handle, it will continue into the next generation.
  4. About three years ago I got into the "wet shaving" movement and bought my first safety razors (Merkur 33c, Edwin Jagger 89, Fatip Piccolo, Merkur Futur, Muhle R41). Then I started collecting the vintage Gillette razors. I present to you what I have found over these three years. All these are mine, if at some point if I need to show an example that's not mine, I will note it. In 1903 Gillette was formed and started production. They really didn't get going until 1904. I present to you my 1906 "Single Ring" Gillette: I know under that tarnish is silver, but I decided not to erase 112 years of patina. If you ever find a "double ring", buy it, very rare. (I've been drinking, so bear with me)

  7. How much traffic did NSAA generate by itself?
  8. What do a gynecologist and a pizza delivery boy have in common? Both can smell it, but neither can eat it.
  9. I feel like a gynecologist. Brought a pizza home for dinner, but the family isn't here yet.

  19. I stopped watching Star Wars when they introduced that stupid character with eyes on stalks. Then I read young girls where taking the dolls and using the eyes as dildos, which of course tweaked my interest.
