Beautiful razors, pj3r and jamie. They appear virtually unused! The VC4 is also the mildest of the Auto-Strops. I've heard it called "the Tech of the Valets." Very interesting to hear that. I've been curious to try a later model Autostrop to compare to the current VC1 (Gem blade) that's in my rotation. May pass now, as I much prefer an aggressive/efficient shaver.

This is the first that I've heard that saying (the Tech of the Valets), but yes that makes sense.

I picked one of the VC4's up. First shave with it tonight. It does not feel as aggressive as some others. Do NOT let that stop you from getting one. It was an insanely good shave. This could be my favorite Valet except for the blade issue. Once I get a few pics I will post a tgread on it.

A fellow shaver across the street has put together a table about AutoStrops/Valets. He shared it with me and let me post it on my blog. Take a look. If you have any input, I welcome it. jrshaving.blogspot.com/p/vale.html

If you have any input, I welcome it. jrshaving.blogspot.com/p/vale.htmlGreat info. I saw it across the street and was in conversation with said fellow shaver. My comment still is: it needs pictures. Ideally, some illustrated guide on how to determine your model. For example: Does it have a fixed handle like this [picture] or a removable handle like this [picture] If fixed handle - does it have a square lug at the top of the handle [picture] or no lug [picture]. It does have a lug? It's an A2. Without pictures, I don't even have a clue what kind of lug I'm looking for or what it is supposed to look like. Other than that - good stuff. Give me a ton of pictures and I host it on my site with animation effects and all Then again, send me more pictures of and info on injectors instead. I'm not that fond of Auto Strops.

I hear you, Andreas. Pictures would make it better. I will see if I can get some pictures of some of mine. I think I am down to three. My earliest is a B1 or 2 I think.

OK, riverrun , I put pictures of my four AutoStrops in the table. Does anyone else have a picture to contribute? Did some searches and gleaned some more pictures from TOST. I could use some better pictures though. Still missing a few.
