Razor Identities

[NotTheStig]

Hi all. Picked this up off 'YorkshireBay'. I know one is an aluminium handled tech (look nice and will soon find out if they shave nicely too). But the others I'm curious about.
One is an English Gillette (it says so on the head) and the teeth at each end look badly bent - don't know what it is; the other looks a lot like an Old of some kind, but says only "British made".

Was looking forward to trying out some English Wilkinson Sword blades but sadly there were 3 used blades (yuk) and one wrapped but badly rusted English Wilkinson. Bit disappointed. Stainless my a*se!!

Stainless is exactly what it is... it stains less than ordinary steel... even stainless rusts eventually.

Old? Or not Gillette?

After 1921 (when Gillette's patent ran out) there would have been a lot of copies...

Yeah that looks like it, ajc. Thanks for posting.
Thanks to sugar puffs for confirming copy of Old.

I like to know a bit about my stash. It's good gear!
