This is a work in progress, in other words as I have time to work on it. The purpose is to compile information on vintage safety razors, identification, stats and photos for the safety razor collector. Will be working on Gillette razors and others from my store stock and also recently sold items that I still have photos etc. The actual layout on this is still just a thought in the planning stage, so bear with me. In no way is this complete list. See ya, Country Joe
