Gumtree alert: vintage Gillette x 2

[Ozymandias]

Great deal here for anyone in Melbourne looking to snap up some vintage Gillette safety razors. I have this ball end tech and paid at least $50.

Looks like a Gillette Rocket HD 500 made in England and a ball end tech showing a triangle shape on the base plate

That ball end, that wouldnt be the same kind i asked you about previously would it? @Mark1966
Whats a decent price to pay for this kind of thing?
Theres 1 in an op shop near me thats got its original blade pack of blues and case but is in a pack with those old school manual beard trimmers that look like you use to shear a sheep with it for $40
No clue about it but seemed a bit much considering i could see old mates beard in it

Yep, or Rocket 'MD' or 'LD' depending on the materials (and weight).

Yes it does seem like the same sort of Tech as you were asking about. Assuming that the Rocket is the HD, weight around 70g, and that everything open and shuts on it correctly and is in alignment this is a good deal.

A Tech with those blades and trimmer for $40 is not so much!
