help to fined out what this razor is

Re: help to

... now I need to know how it's different than an 'early-model' NEW...

It's simple... go spend some quality time over on the NEW page at Achim's <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mr-razor.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.mr-razor.com</a><!-- m --> site... all should become clear.

• Aye, there's the rub![/list:u]
  
  ...
  
  • ... no, actually it's a bit lower ...
    
    • • ... lower
        • ... lower-lower ... [/list:u]
          
          • ... over to the right
            • • ... the right
                • • • ... my right[/list:u][/list:u]
                      
                      • ... a bit more
                        • ... now, up a bit
                          • • ... there - that's the spot.[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
                              
                              • ... um
                                • ... what's that chainsaw-sounding thingie for?[/list:u][/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]

Re: help to

Gents...something bothered me about this razor (no patent no the head of other NEW's to be a frankenrazor) because I was sure I'd seen something like this before so I sought advice from a higher power (Mr Razor) and he told this razor is indeed an authentic thin handled British NEW. He will post me a link when he updates his website.

Maybe it is worth replating?

Re: help to

Let's rob Achim's house.

I reckon three or four of us could do the job, lightly armed and with suitable back-up.

Who's in?

Re: help to

Just because I referred to Achim as a "higher power" you get all personal Rev. :roll: :lol:

Re: help to

I can't believe what they guy spends!

I've seen him pay top dollar on the bay and if you multiply that by his collection he's shelled out some serious money.

Mind you, his kit is pretty much the definitive reference archive (BNIB / NOS) and he's generous with pics and info so I can't complain.

Doesn't Achim actually work for Gillette?

I never heard that before!

Maybe - if so, he's a real company man! Wonder how he feels about the modern rubbish.

Was there any sort of timescale when this update might be? Or a source of actual deails/item specs, as I'm not sure mine still might not be a frankenrazor because of the cap graphix. I keep meaning to take a picture or three of this thing (among other stuff), but it doesn't seem to happen.

I don't know if he posted you about it or not, but I was just here, where it has been classified as a: made in England, 1941 NEW, with Tech Handle.

Following, are finally some photos of mine. Mine might still be a FrankenRazor, as the cap is different, but the back plate Patent Number matches Mr Razor's. At least the backing plate is definitely that of the 1941 British-made NEW with Tech handle. :lol:
