| Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | Question - Hi, I came into possession of a display case of Gillete Techmatics from the late 60's a long time ago. 2 of the razors were given out as gifts and the base of the display is missing, but besides that, it is a complete sales display. I was wondering what it's value is, and what would be the best way to get in touch with collectors that might be interested?

Enlarge | Answer - I would think this would get at least $150.00 and could go as high as $250.00 if the right buyer can be found. I would list it on ebay with a reserve of $150.00 and you could list it here on the Shaveworld Classified Ads section. There are other razor collectible web sites but I do not have any experience with them. Good luck.
| | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - I am checking the value of an old razor. It is a Star safety razor, made by Kampfe Bros. It is in a box with two blades and three pieces that assemble to make the handle. It has several patents on it.(USA-France-Italy-Germany) Has two engraved awards. Highest award Paris 1900. Highest Pan-American award 1901. What is the probable value of this razor? | | Answer - According to Howard Hazelcorn's Guide to Kampfe Razors (3rd ed.,2007) a bare Kampfe razor like yours (the design could be HR13B, HR14A or 14B) would have a value of $20-$35. For a complete set with a nice case and all parts the value could be $40 and up. If your case has only two blade slots, you have a complete set. Condition is very important also. Also check eBay for a similar set. | | | Category - Blades Expert - shemac11 | Question - I the collector of edges. I live in Russia. I wish to vary with you.

Sheila | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - Me and my husband found a starrazor dated 1900,IT WAS BURIED IN MY GRANDFATHERS LANDS IN SOUTH,TEXAS ALONG THE rio grande river.MY OLDER FAMILY MEMBERS DOSENT RECALL MY GRANDFATHER BEING A SHAVING MAN,I BELIVE THERE WERE OTHER MAN IN DOES LANDS BEFORE HIM.WHAT CAN YOU TELL ABOUT FINDING star razor(1900)in the middle of no where? | | Answer - Yours was a very interesting find. Not being an expert on south Texas history, I can only add that the Star safety razor, made by the Kampfe Brothers in New York City, was a best-seller and a popular razor of the last decade of the 1800s until 1905 or so. The blades were sold until about 1920. For more about the Kampfe Brothers and the Star, see- http://www.razorandbrush.com/perkam.html | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - Due to a death in the family, I have a collection of about 1,600 straight edge razors along with his catalog of where, when and cost of each of his purchases. These are all probably 1950 and older.Had he lived, he would be around 100 today. He kept these in a large glass cabinet. How do I find a reputable purchaser? | Answer - I am not an expert on straight razor collecting. You could contact Phillip Krumholz (email: barber@heart.net). Some eBay straight razor buyers and sellers may be interested. You could also post your request at a Forum at the Straight Razor Place web site --

Enlarge | Answer - Sorry, but I can not help you on this one. It does not appear to be American. You might ask Leo Rozov who can be reached at rozovl@yahoo.com. He is a big collector of blades from all countries.
Dale | | | Category - Blades Expert - Dale Justus | | Question - I came upon some penguine super razor blades. I can't find any information on them. What do you know? | | Answer - There was a single edge Penguin blade made by the Rider Safety Razor Co., 1127 Broadway, New York, N. Y. The wrapper is orange and has a picture of a penguin on it. The graphics are vertical.The Penguin Blade company in Newark, N.J. also produced a blade with the same brand. The graphics on the box are horizontal. I only have a reference that pictures the box and indicates the blades are generically wrapped. The graphics on the box are blue on a white background. As you can see the spelling is different that what you provided. Several other countries products blades with the same name. To determine the country of origin one must look at the blade. Most USA blades have "Made in USA" on the box, wrapper, or blade. If the words "Trade Mark" or a mention which indicated they are of a metric size are found, there is a good chance the product was made in either Italy or some other European country. If you are a collector or want to be collector of blades, you may be interested in my CD "Made in U.S.A." Razor Blades. If you are interested contact me at djustus@claremorewireless.com. | | | Category - Blades Expert - Dale Justus | Question - Hello, I have vintage straight razor. Engraving says: "HAND MADE"on one side,and "BLUE STEEL MADE BY EXPERTS In U.S.A. NOT MADE IN GERMANY"on the other side.It looks like it was made around WW1 or WW2.Because the specific statement that it was madein "U.S.A." and not "GERMANY"
How old do you think the razor may be and how much it is worth?
Thank you for your help and any info you might have. | 
Enlarge | Answer - I have researched this and have not found any mention of a razor with the information you provide on its blade. There was a German company that advertised "Blue Steel" on its products. I have a razor in my collection that has "Blue Steel" on the tang and CH on the back side of the tang tail. It appear the sides of the razor are either plastic or some other man made material. If so, I would guess that it is of WWII ventage.
Since the razor has the unique statement on it about where it was made, I would guess you have a razor worth much more than the one I have at $12.00. The value depends on age,condition and manufacture. Condition is very important, but The "NOT IN GERMANY" adds additional value. | | | Category - Blades Expert - Dale Justus | | Question - Been trying to get info on these blades...the blades never used all still in original packaging..the packaging is what is unique...Model Blade Company NYC...each blade wrapped in a color photo/pin up..the box they come in also has a photo on each side. I have these since the early 50's..any info?value? thanks Carlotta | Answer - The Model razor blade package was designed by the Gay Prodcts Co. in Atlanta, GA. The blades were Produced by the Model Blade Co of New York City. My box and the individual blades have N.Y. rather that NYC that you have mentioned. The Gay Products Co. went out of business in the late 1940's. That company had counter displays which sold individual blades. My box of the Model Blade Co. product is similar to the one you have, 5 different blades, with pictures on the front and back of the box. If indeed your box has NYC not N.Y. it is possibly an earlier production, say 1940's. If it has N.Y. on it possibly it was produced by the Model Blade Co. after the Gay Products company went out of business. Nude pinups were acceptable adverting material in the 40' but in the 50's I quess "political correctness" took hold and they were not acceptable.
If you go to eBay and view some of the auctions you can establish a price. Presently, a full box is listed at anywhere from $5 to $25, but sell closer to the higher number. These blades are desired by every blade collector. | | | Category - Blade Banks Expert - jhhayes | Question - Question - Hello, I have vintage straight razor.

Thank you for your help and any info you might have. | | Answer - | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | Question - I have a Silver Star gold colored 3-piece safety razor which I inherited. It is in excellent condition except that the name and logo on the top are somewhat faint (but still readable). Can you give me an idea of age, rarity and value? I have looked on Ebay (active and completed items) and have never seen one. The outside of the bottom plate is stamped "Star" and "Made in USA". Thank you.
Steve W. | | Answer - Three-piece Star razors (similar to a Gillette 3-piece razor) were made in the 1940s-1960s by the Star Safety Razor Division of the American Safety Razor Corp., Brooklyn, N.Y. Your razor is somewhat "hard to find" but not too valuable, maybe $3-5 in good condition without a box. An example is pictured in Phillip Krumholz's Gillette book, p. 414. One is for sale on eBay now as Item number 150351242109. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - a_dvir | Question - Question - Hi,
I know I have pasted this question before, but have had no response so thought I could try someone else.
I am trying to find out about a Razor that my grandfather left me, which is similar to ANTIERENS 1 on your website ( which is great by the way)
The one that I have is in a green box and has what seems like an iron cross on the front this is surounded by a garland of leaves then a circle. At the top inside the cross is a small crown, in the middle of the cross is a small w and at the bottom, again inside the cross is 1914.
The velvet inside is red with no markings.
The handle seems heavy, but looks like aluminium and the blade holder is steel. there is a blade still in it which says. REKORD at the top and below feinste deutsche klinge. I know this has got to be german, but do you know any more about it please.
Many thanks

Thanks ... Maddie | 
Enlarge | | Answer - Your Wilkinson seven-day set is probably circa 1940s. Possibly a collector might pay $40 or more. You could check eBay auctions for ongoing and completed sales. A similar Wilkinson sold Nov 15 on eBay for $31.51 plus shipping. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - banjophd | Question - A friend of mine found this "piece" with his metal detector, I think that it is a part of a safety razor.

Enlarge | | Answer - | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | Question - Dear sir,
I have inherit a Gillette wooden shaving box from my grandfather including never used blades . I surfed the internet but could not find the same item. It has patent no. jan 13 1920 and on the top of the razor the number 782143A shows. I was wondering if you can tell me how old it is and what it is worth..
Thanks in advance,
Kurt | 
Enlarge | Answer - Kurt, this razor #782,143A was manufactured in 1921, and it is an "Old Type Big Fellow".
As it appears to have a case that is a little beat-up and is missing a plated steel blade-box
I would estimate the value at $30-$40 dollars. However, if you catch a person who really wants
this model, you may realize $10 to $20 dollars more. Good Luck. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | Question - Hi,
Question about the Milord that I get out of the database that actually looks like a gold plated tech. Is this really a Milord? On Badger&Blade this razor/box combination is identified as a gold pated tech in a Milord box. | Answer - It is really a Milord, I have one just like it. This is the second model of Milord that was sold,
the first one was introduced in 1941 and was the first Gillette with a "solid guard bar" instead of the older comb-guard, production of that model ended with the attack on Pearl Harbor. Later the
Milord name was used for the Tech version you bought. Every one I have seen was gold plated and if
you find a date code on the underside of the head (letter for year, number for quarter) then your razor was made prior to 1950 or 1951 when the coding was started. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | Question - Hi i just bought a safety razor and i have not been able to find anything out about it the only thing i know is it is made in Germany it is in a vary small tin 1 3/4 long 1" wide 1/2" high it has D.R.G.M. made in Germany right next to the henge inside it is lined with blue felt one half holds the two piece handle and the other side holds the head and it has on it made in Germany on the top side of the case it has the word Rothstein if any one could help me would be appreciated
thank you | 
Enlarge | Answer - Many travel razors of this type in a small metal case with a two-piece telescoping handle were made in Germany and the U.S. Yours is circa early 1940s. D.R.G.M means that the design was patented in Germany. For more pictures of razors like this see Tiny Travel Razors at

Enlarge | Answer - I have not ever seen an item like this and since I have seen and owm many Gillette items I would have to say that this is a Gillette razor put into a case with accessories that were made by someone else. A good way to verify this is to look to see if anything else in the set is marked
with the name Gillette. That company marked almose everything that they made. It is very usual
for Gillette to supply razors for other companies to include in some kind of grooming package.

If you copy and paste this address it should let you see them I know most of them aren't that old, but the one Remington with the red button I finally had to call the company about and they said it was from the early 60's, and I'm not sure but I think the white one, which is a Craftsman, is older than the hills.

Enlarge | Answer - Yep, this is indeed a "safety" razor. Believe it or not, there is a windup rotary version, much like a meat slicer
Here is some info from the Safety Razor Compendium CD-ROM (which also includes color photos, etc.):
Collins Safety Razor Co., 4309 W. Lake St., Chicago, Illinois. TM first used Feb 1920 and published 24 Aug 1920. U.S. Patent No. 1127409, 9 Feb 1915, filed 9 May 1914, Cap Bertrand Collins, Des Moines Iowa. Patent for a wind-up razor with a round head and round blade. U.S. Design Patent No. 56283, 14 Sep 1920, filed 24 Mar 1920, Henry H. Johnson, Oak Park, Ill. Fixed blade razors are silver- or gold-plated with rectangular and coffin-shaped cases. Two handle designs have been found.
Cap B. Collins also had addresses in Sioux Falls, South Dakota (1919) and Oak Park, Illinois (c. 1920). The Collins Rotary Safety Razor Co. (formerly the Rotary Safety Razor Co. and later the Collins Safety Razor Co.) had a factory in Chicago at 4309-19 W. Lake St. c. 1918-1919 with a capacity of 1000 razors per day. The company was located at 12th & Otto Streets, Franklin, Pennsylvania around 1922-1923. According to a 1918 prospectus, there were 6000 stockholders that had invested $600,000.

| | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | Question - I thank you for replying to my previous question about STAR razor.
I want to ask you one more question. I found a piece (alluminium alloy) of a REX safety razor. The only information that I found about the REX is: REX Razor Co Inc. - New York. Nothing about its production. Could you suggest me where can I found some more information? Thank you in advance, ciao!
Silvio Passalalpi
Genoa - Italy | 
Enlarge | | Answer - Several razors bore the REX name. Your piece may have been made by L. Herder & Sons, Philadelphia, sometime after Gillette came out with the three-hole blade. They used the name REX on stropping machines. Or it could have been made by the Rex Safety Razor Co. (location unknown, maybe New York?) around 1916. Or it could be of more recent vintage and made by some other company entirely. One thing for sure, it was made to use a 3-hole blade and has a crude closed guard similar to the Gillette Tech of 1939. Also see Gillette's 6 Oct 1925 patent 1555961, filed in 1923.

| | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | | Question - Hi i did more searching on the Gillette #66 British Aristocrat razor set. Its mint never been used with a blue pack of razors in a silver holder, I researched on the internet to find the value, found just the razor on ebay for 239 and I found a set just like mine that sold for 300 but the differnce between that one and mine is that it has a crown on the box top left corner, some websites have called it the corination set, does anyone have any info on the value of this set, Thank You | 
Enlarge | Answer - Hi, A Coronation set it is worth considerable more that a regular
British Aristocrat, my feeling is that $300 is a pretty high price though. I think they made three
different sets to commemorate the coronation in 1953. I also think that this set is the best one that was offered. The one I have is a regular tech model, while nice I think it was the least expensiveof the three models. I paid $13.00 for it in 2005. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | | Question - hi, could you give me some info and value on this gillette safety razor set with razors made in england (1951 i think), its in mint condition and never been used | 
Enlarge | Answer - This set is very nice and equivalent to the Aristocrat model in America at that time.
I would think that you could get at least $30.00 and maybe up to $45.00 from an anxious
bidder. There seem to be many new collectors now in the market and often they do not know
the rarity of the items and are willing to pay much more than they would normally be worth.
One odd thing about this set is that it appears to include the standary chrome plated sleeve
for holding the blades but I think that someone added the dispensor inside the sleeve in order
to have some blades with the razor. I think that originally, this model did not come with a
dispensor in the English version. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - Any estimate of the value of the "Two in One" razor set? Is eBay the best way to sell collectible safety razors? Terry K | | Answer - It is difficult to give an estimate, as there is little published history on value. It is a rarity, though, and it could fetch a good price on eBay if the right collectors spot it. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - hi im looking for information and value of the razor set in the pics, its in mint condition never been used, barely touched, its made in england and i think its around 1950, also come with razors(blue) in a silver holder |
Enlarge | | Answer - To estimate value, search on eBay, completed auctions for Gillette England. The U.S.-made version was called the Gillette Executive and advertised in June 1951. The razor was rhodium-plated. Also, you might post this question for the Gillette expert (e sinker) on this forum. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | Question - Hello,
[NOTE: I wrote the following message assuming I'd be able to include a photo with it; however, for some reason I'm unable to send the photo, only text, through this message board. If you provide your email address I can send pix to you directly.] I've been unable to identify this "2 in 1 Safety Razor." Only markings read Pat'd May 8, 1906 but of the two razor patents on that date only the William J Moore patent remotely resembles the razor, and no mention is made of "2 in 1." Razor is unused, mint condition, with 4 blades still in wrappers. Note the "2 in 1 Safety Razor" silk ribbon inside top cover. Internet searches have turned up nothing. Can you help? (Sorry for poor photo but it's the only overall shot I have and this message form seems to allow only 1 photo; more available if you need). Terry K | Answer - The Moore patent you found (US 819790) is the patent for the Two-In-One razor. The thin single edge blade may be marked TWO-IN-ONE. As far as I know, this razor is relatively rare. No other info is known. A razor similar to yours is shown on the Lorenzi web site as Code 3700, wwww.collectorsencyclopedia.com/ .

I have several nice ones with mold marks on the bottom. | Answer - Thank you for your question. It is basic, but it deserves an in-depth answer. Milk glass SM's are usually found as Single Compartment mugs, but others exist. They have a value of 5 to 15 dollars.A different type in this catagory would double its value to 15 to 30 dollars. If provinance includes an early production date, (antique), the value would double again. I have a file, "criteria for establishing a shaving mug's value."

Also, I have a Permedge Rotary Stropper. Both are very shiny and the Dubeledge is in a rectangular silver case. Any idea on prices for these items? | | Answer - These items are fairly common. The Dubeledge has a value of $20-$30 because of the metal case. The Permedge without its original box doesn't have much value. With the box about the same as the Dubeledge. | | | Category - Mugs Expert - Les Oliver | | Question - I have a china shaving mug that is about 2 inches tall. It has flowers on it and the only identifying thing about it is on the bottom which has the number "1380" written above " 2270." Can you tell me anything about it? June | Answer - Hi, June. The 2 inch height makes me think of "miniature" scuttle shaving mugs which were issued as novelty items.They are decorative, but have a value of about $50.00 in Canadian or American funds.
Perhaps you refer to a full size shaving mug that is only 2" tall. I have about 200 shaving mugs, some of which can be seen on my personal web site at: www.antiqueshavingmugs.ca The shortest
I have is a Combination mug at 2 1/4" tall. If you can, I would like to see a picture of the mug.
If you are a beginning collector of shaving mugs, I would be pleased to send you, (at no charge),
a copy of my CD covering my book, ABOUT SHAVING MUGS.Please get back to me re your thoughts and wishes. Les Oliver | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - robert-13 | | Question - Have you ever seen an Ever Ready Safety Razor in a Bacolite box.Made in England 1912. | | Answer - Yes, I have a couple. They are very nice with streamlined brown or ivory-color Bakelite cases. 1912 is the patent issue date, not necessarily the date of manufacture. | | | Category - Safety Razors Expert - e sinker | Question - I have accumulated several safety razors over the years through auctions, sway meets, and garage sales. I am out of space at home and therefore just listed 65 of them and a display on eBay. I must have one that is a rare as I had one person asking to buy before the 1st bid because he was being activated and another offer 200-500 [depending on condition] for one gillette razor. Of course, I can't eithcally do that. But he did identify one razor and I wonder if he is right re: it value. Terry
| Answer - Terry, sorry, I cannot seem to find which listing you might be asking about. Do you have an
item number or an accurate description? Since there are thousands of items listed under
Gillette, I have no way of knowing where to look. Hope to hear from you as there are certainly
a number of Gillette models that could be worth that kind of money. Actually, I have seen some
models go for over $1200.00. I will wait to hear from you again and will respond asap.
