Darwin

[efsk]

Quite a cool find. That blade is looking very good for its age, too! You didn't hapen to find the accompanying razor there, too, did you
Oh, and welcome!

What a weird place to find it, but cool find indeed !

Hello! I created an account to post something I thought you lot might find interesting.
I was taking apart the fireplace in my 1924 built house and found a Darwin razor blade inside it. Don't know why it was there, but it has likely been there for almost 100 years.

What a find - and story!

Here is the Bijou, in hands , it's really beautiful. It's bigger brother, is too expensive to buy right now. But it's in my 20-30 razors to buy in the next 3-5 years. Hopefully some people will come to their senses and allow us to buy them at reasonable prices. I will be posting more detailed pictures later on unless somebody else takes care of that (which I don't mind at all)

This is how the box looks like on different angles

Found me a Darwin adjustable in a broken bakelite case. Razor is really looking terrific, very happy with it. Pics are not the best, as usually with me.

Nicely done! I love my Deluxe. Being a minimalist (he he..), I'm trying to limit my lust towards these beauties to just one.

Great addition, Richard !

Another Darwin DeLuxe. This one is not adjustable. No case, but looking marvellous. My pics, apart from being upside down, do not do it justice. Thing is chrome, too, but my cellphone made it nickel or so. got to find out how to fix that.

Wow. I’d love to see a gold plated or copper Darwin.

Oh how I would love to own a Darwin. It has influenced some of my work though. I made this handle that I can use with razor heads I have. Pictured is the handle with a Gillette Old Type head.

I made this case that was inspired by Darwin.
