Birth Year Razors - sought & available

Thanks for the reply Robert its been that long i had forgotten all about it.Its a z4 not z3 which i'm after ive edited my mistake on the original post.Sorry about the mix up
 

No problem friend - I'll toss it back into the tackle box. I wonder how many others have not updated their requests or even went back to read what has been posted as a find? Thanks for getting back to me.

Second thought I think I'll give it away as a 2012 Christmas present here at TSR. It's at least worth a tenner. More if you were to replate with nickel. A real nice piece with excellent knurling and beautiful head; just a bit going on underneath. But hell it's good enough to put on display.

Z4 huh?

Guys, rather than look through 15 pages of individual request i think it'll make our lives much easier if we make use of a free online spreadsheet that we can all edit. If we all input our request (or list availability) then amend/delete when completed.

Here's a sheet I started:

For your security, do your own due diligence when contacted about an item you requested. Ask the usual questions, seek pictures to verify item (i.e. ask them to hand write a note with forum ID etc) and check history in this community.
If something seems to good to be true, walk away!! There is always another razor available out there.

UKMerk, that's a great idea! Although I have decided not to pursue my birth year razor after all. However, I do have a 1964 J1 coded Slim Adjustable with excellent nickel plating. Not mint perhaps however when I bought it I expected to get it re-plated but after a good clean and polish there's just no way it needs it and would be a complete waste of money having it done. The numbers have no blacking but are clearly visible and could be re-enamelled very easily. Up to you and no worries if you don't want it as I haven't yet got round to advertising it. It was going to be a keeper but funds are on the tight side.
 
Great idea UKMerk makes it much easier!, I've added what I'm looking for.

One humble suggestion though, would it be worth adding if you want to buy or if you have available? more chance of a pair up then?
 
I would love a 1975 gillette black beauty long handle. V-2 preferred but not essential would love it mint so can be used.

Thanks
 
Just listed two Gillette Adjustables: a H1 and I3 - I would like to exchange one for my birth razor, a J2.

Bought these two of Ebay where described as J2's. Will cost too much to return.

Lesson learnt.
