Didn't bid in the end as bought something else, so I haven't cost you any more!There were loads of companies producing razors in the early part of the last century; that looks similar to a Gillette Old in style and if it shaves like one could be quite aggressive
Hi I've got a razor like this, the razors came badged by one 3 manufactures, the Paragon you have, Souplex or in my case Big Ben, as you say the finish isn't the best, yet that does not, as you say too, affect the shave, nice clean 3 pass BBs, I find the razor quite light as it has an hollow handle and I feel it is too short as a regular razor, I use it with another German razor I have which is open comb too as a trave razor, but all in all the shave is excellent.Hi all
I've just taken receipt of a Paragon safety razor that I picked up on ebay. I bought it simply because I liked the look of the head. Apologies for my terrible pictures, but I'm an awful photographer and it's just a phone camera so bad combination...
As you can (hopefully!) see, it's an open comb razor and the head has quite a tight curve on it. Not sure how it will shave, but will give it a go in a bit (when my current bout of extreme shaving rash quietens down!.)
It's in good condition, but I have a feeling it must have been a cheapie as the fit and finish could be better (there's a slight raised area on the head where the screw fits to the top and the moulding isn't immaculate.) I doubt any of that will make a difference to the shave though.
Have any of you come across the razor before? In particular, does anyone have any experience of shaving with it?
I don't think I can go too far wrong as it only cost £11, but I'd appreciate any thoughts you have!
