1932 MMOC with rare engraved cap. Regional or temporal variant I have no idea. Included blades are 1934 issue so the razor saw brief use The Enders Speed in red dress is typically a post-war plastic Shaver model, this one is a pre-war Bakelite Razor model.

Picked up a MMOC and a Bullet Tip with the 'all seeing eye'. Were pretty dirty, but cleaned up nicely. Gold Seeing Eye is rather handsome 😍

Just arrived, my second 1924. This is an earlier model with the longer pillar on the head. Not sure that's the matching case, but who cares, it was quite the bargain. That is sweet looking!

That is gorgeous. Did you use the wedge or a modern blade.

That is gorgeous. Did you use the wedge or a modern blade. Thanks, I used a modern (Treet Carbon). I have some rust-free, but un-honed wedges that need to be made shave-ready. It's missing a blade stop, and the back blade retaining clip (with the Maltese Cross) is very strong, and couldn't be used without 2 really good blade stops, but the swing arm retainer is also fairly tight, so I was able to shave with just it in place with the Treet. The blade would get pushed backward during the shave, but never fell forward; so I had to keep looking and adjusting when I couldn't feel the blade anymore. I tried putting a wedge in there and it locked it in perfectly; so I know that's really the best way to go. I just couldn't wait, and so I loaded a Treet and went for it. Got a close comfortable shave with no weepers. It's actually in better shape than I anticipated. All of the seller's pics showed the frame popped open, and I was worried it wouldn't close or stay closed. It is pretty finicky about staying closed -- it will if there's a blade in it and the clips are in place, otherwise it wants to stay open. All in all, I'm pretty pleased.

Just picked these 2 things up at the swap meet. Autostrop conditioner and an interesting ER 1912 with a truncated cap. It looks factory to me. That's pretty cool, Tom. I especially like that truncated cap. I've never seen that before. Are you sure some Tom II out there didn't do a job on it?

There is the stock gold wash evenly distributed all over the cap.

I've never seen anything like it... thanks the guy would not deal on those 2 things. I had to pay $15 total. Was trying to get it all for $12. As that is what I had for correct change. So I had to break a $20😡
