Well did a bit looking at yard sales today and got a few things. First up is three vintage Gillette Safety Razors. One has the original box. Next up is a Vintage Curvfit Female razor. I also got some vintage razor blades. I noticed that one box of the razor blades has the same logo as Vic and Wenger knives.

I also picked up a Wenger with locking main blade. I have no idea what model it is and will be asking for ID soon. Sorry no pictures until tomorrow.

So basically, you're just a big pic teaser

I know Victorinox made straight razors didn't know about blades.

Next up is another Gillette Safety Razor in the box

Last but not least are the blades.

Interestingly enough the green box has the same umbrella looking emblem on the packaging as a VIC and WENGER have. Anyone know anything about this?

Here's information on that crossbow. In a nutshell it means its Swiss and better be bloody good

That wenger looks interesting, especially the locking lever. Does it lock open, or closed?

Thank you for the link. I have some reading to do.

It locks the blade open. You must depress the LOCK lever to close the blade.

The Wenger looks like a Backpacker II though I'm not sure if they had the lock

Could have been a variant just for EB? I'm sure someone will be along and put me straight shortly

All the slight variations on the Wengers give me a headache.

Hah, there's that crossbow umbrella again

It locks the blade open. You must depress the LOCK lever to close the blade.

Many thanks; it looks very unusual.

Man, you and the shaving thread have got me itching to try a safety razor...

Nice find

I really want to use one as well. I have been watching some videos and it seems that the safety razor gives a much better shave than the 4-5 blade razors that we use today. I think I will pick up a new safety razor instead of using a vintage one.

It's a type of a back lock actually... Have a look at this: clicky
