Gillette New Patent Reissue w/short comb and lovely patina on the copper cap. Thank you @Scotshave

I've pictured it next to my American pre-WW2 brass Tech, also with copper cap and copper handle parts.

I've always fancied an ATT Windsor set. ATT posted a pic of the mixed metal satin and copper set - well, that was me sold!

No, look at the width of the center section, it's more of a DE89 with the center filled in, but the blade doesn't touch the center, it bows up over it. The fulcrum point is well back from the edge of the cap.

small package delivery from ES - got some matching aftershaves for my SV soaps, pinaud clubman and Eucris shaving cream - thought I’d give it a try - scent is quite interesting

Good man.

Btw, the perfect number of blades = existing blades + next purchase

Those go together.

Also, do the Sputnik blades have any markings on them for the date of manufacture at all? On another forum I saw a rumour they may have been discontinued.

What type of razor is this please?

What type of razor is this please?

This razor is a "Twig razor" from Leaf razor company.
It takes half a DE blade and therefore is a single edge razor.

I haven’t opened a blade but this is on the box.

Thanks for that, fine work.

The year code suggests it was made last year, so it's most likely to still be in production.

Hope you get on with it, fine haul of blades you had. The Perma Sharps are one of my favourite blades, and the Bic CP's are excellent as well.
