My examples would back up that proposal - curved combs earlier than squared combs.

Thank you very much for the information. I would ask the angle you use to shave. Thank you very much .

Steep ... the gap between the back of the razor and your face is maybe a centimetre at most.

It's also worth noting that all variants of the 1924 have the handle threaded with a standard 10-32 thread (M5 for you metric types). This means that most modern DE handles can easily be fitted to a 1924 head with the addition of a setscrew. Here is a round comb pillar base 1924 fitted to a Matador S2 stainless steel handle: Purists may cringe and consider this something close to blasphemy, but I find that having a heavy fat deeply knurled handle mated with the 1924 head makes for a great shaver. Looks kinda cool, too. --Bob

My examples would back up that proposal - curved combs earlier than squared combs. I will go with that. The earliest version of this design had the curved comb:

Just a note re the suggestions to sticky this thread. If you look around here you will see there are very few stickies at TOST. There are ones to point folks to the original site (make sure you take a peek if you have not seen it yet - The Original Safety ) and the occasional introduction to a particular section of the Forum, but really none at all flagging single threads. Through the years we have been lucky enough for there to have been many wonderful posts that would be well served to be stickied. That can get confusing however. We have all seen Forums with stickies stuck around the site like shingles on a roof. And like a roof, it becomes a slippery slope. I have also seen some nasty digital squabbles over what does and what does not get stickied. Toes get stepped on. Folks get upset. Fabulous post though.

On a forum like this we'd have to 'sticky' well over half of the content! No grumbles from me ...
Given the high quality of content to noise ratio on this forum, googling makes it pretty easy to get to a lot of good posts very easily: simply search for what you're interested in and put "site:http://theoriginalsafetytoo.proboards.com" afterwards to limit the search to this forum. Job jobbed. THAT's your stickies.

Alright guys....I have a genuine mystery here....A friend of mine has a rounded comb, pedistal base 1924....that when you look at the bottom, with the comb facing you, there is a tiny number 8 on the right side of the bottom....
Now what do you suppose that number 8 could mean.....has anyone seen a number on the bottom of the head like that?

Oh, yes ... ... curiouser still, here's a pedestal base traveller (the Wall Cabinet Set) which has a number 4: ... and a non-pedestal base square comb with a what might be a number but in a different place: Under magnification, I think this is 6. My others do not have numbers in those places. ... as for rhyme or reason, I dunno. Thoughts?

Some discussion here: badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php/245575-Question-about-Ever-Ready-1924HoosierTrooper Tom has a number 3. So, we've 3, 4, 6? and 8. Might the 3 actually be a badly stamped 8? Looking at the bases, the pillar base is the original 1924 patent and the flush base is the 1925 revision. There are also two revisions of the flush base, on slightly more ornate in design than the plain 1925. No connection yet, just setting out the data ...

Now you've done it - I'm gonna have to break out all of my 1924's and take a look. --Bob

I am going to bump this due to the recent 1924 discussion.
