Now that was a raffle I would love to have won.My Seygus OC special edition is probably rarer (4 made IIRC?), but here goes:
Won in a raffle, when we were still doing raffles here:
The Gillette PanAm "The President Stateroom" razor.
with original, unused tooth brush:
Z4 - last quarter 1954Now that was a raffle I would love to have won.
The big question is.
How does it shave Andreas and what year was it made?
Simply gorgeous hardware.
Put it up against the red ring one day......I would just stick to shaving your face mate but you gotta do what you gotta do!
Really interesting and thank you for sharing.Z4 - last quarter 1954
It's a Tech and it shaves like a Tech.
Even with a PanAm Stateroom ticket, they didn't give away TTO razors...
Here a United Airlines example of the 'Stateroom' - it's No. 5 at the back...
PanAm's staterooms where at the front (No. 1)
Very nice
I guess this is now my rarest DEThis shall be a place to show your rarest DE razors, if you like.
I will start with an unbranded German open comb razor which came in a wooden box, covered with leather.

Inside we see a print of an old German shop, owned by the Lang Brothers in the German town Saarbrücken, who sold steel products made in Solingen. With the razor came two little empty containers for razor blades, made of cardboard, on which the words sharp and dull are engraved.

Probably this razor was a gift made in a small amount for good customers of this shop. I date this razor as having been manufactured somewhere between 1910 and 1930.

Affixed on the razor handle there is a mosaic made of tiny silver and dark grey plates. As you can see in the photos, some of them have been lost down the years.

I did some research but found not more informations as the Gebr. Lang were also manufacturer of straight razors. Their shop and the company don´t exist anymore and today at the same address Bahnhofstr. 60, you will find a Starbucks store.
