He sent the razors to me a while ago, but it&#8217;s only now that I have had time to look at them. <!--more-->After cleaning them, and using some rust remover on them, I took the time to try one of the Gillette razors. It is possibly a Richwood # 81. The razor are at least from before 1920 since it has a serial number on the handle (Gillette stopped using serial number on the razors handle ca. 1920).<\/p>\n<p>I used a Derby blade which is sharp but pretty &#8220;gentle&#8221; blade.
