Swing

[Hrudeep]

The razor design in general of the Swing brand, especially those that use the bakelite handles seems to be quite popular of that era.
I have a Benhur OC with a bakelite handle that looks quite similar to the Swing razors.

Here's another Swing bakelite OC razor that...swings! (I think I may now know where they got that name).

This one's coloured dark green as opposed to Clouds' red one in the case shown earlier.

36 grams in weight.

Patented November 3, 1931 in the USA.

Nice and old although I guess its hard to tell how much later it was actually made.

That is pretty for sure.
And the patent is missing from my site...

It took a while, but here is the patent:

Thank you Andreas!

Here's another Swing. I don't believe it's been shown in this thread previously. I've seen it labeled, as a Swing "Senior". I saw a thread where it was stated that it was marketed by this model name in a store in Melbourne, Australia. This one came from Sweden, and isn't labeled as a Senior. It seems to have the same handle that efsk (Richard) noted on a Swing razor that was marketed for the Dutch market, noted earlier in this thread. It's a superb shaver.

I'm going to have to correct my submission above. Here's a real Swing Senior razor, purchased from Australia. I think the razor I refer to above as a Senior may in fact be what's called an A3 although I'm not 100% sure of this. This Senior weighs in at 81 grams.
