7 O'Clock SE Razor

[Dave in KY]

Was watching that but got too pricy for me. That baseplate under the 7oclock will fit on that cap that's screwed on a handle.

Bottom row #2, is that a clone or the real deal?

$63 for the complete lot seemed reasonable to me and will sell some off that are't wanted to recoup some of that back anyway. It's not a clone and a real deal. Gillette stampings but no date code on barrel or baseplate top. Not sure what you are talking about with regard to the "baseplate under the 7 o'clock will fit on that cap that's screwed on a handle." there are no threads with this razor but has a mechanism that flips to separate the top and base apart but stay connected. You may have this confused with the 3 piece 7 O'Clock or I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

All Loaded with a slightly modified Gem Blade for a trial run tomorrow........


 

Very nice. I have one but found the modified Gem is shorter than the original blade (top left) and therefore  mild. The Feather was a little too long and aggressive. It was my intention to try to get a pin behind a modified Gem so it was set forward slightly but I never got round to it. I was also worried the pin would be stuck permanently. 

Thanks and yes I noticed it slightly shorter with the Gem but will give it a try until a work around is figured out. I have about 4 original blades of dubious condition to compare and think about a solution.

Saturday June 28, 2021
Razor: Vintage 7 O'Clock Single Edge Razor
Blade: Gem (3)
Brush: Paladin 26mm Vesuvius Chief
Soap: Hub City Morning Hike
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: CFG Ghost Town Barber
Fragrance: Scuderia Ferrari Black
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 964

Drama free shave with the 7 O'Clock Single Edge today. Mild with the Gem blade which is 1mm narrower than the original blade making it mild but still effective and a VERY nice shave, just shy of my normally glass smooth goal. VERY happy with having this piece of history in the den. 1911/12 Patent date thought to be used in 1915 so that's my guess for the razor date as far as I can read. Have a great Monday Folks !!

There is a handle with a three post cap screwed onto it, that three hole baseplate will give you a complete frankenrazor.

Thanks yeah I had made that connection and they are already together. Not a Frankenrazor as it is the base plate for that razor to complete it. They just got separated. TobyC

And yet you couldn't figure out what I was saying.

Well that was so obvious and something I did immediately when it arrived and so it was not in my thought process. I thought you were thinking this was a three piece razor.

That looks like a self-stropping razor similar to AutoStrop. That is the first I have seen of those. Cool.

I believe it was made by Autostrop. I could be totally wrong on that. I have one of these bad boys. Nice shave with a Carbon Gem.

Could we get some side by side pictures of the original blade a Gem and possibly a Feather.

I don't have any feathers. I can get a Gem and Original photo in a day or 2 unless someone gets to it sooner. Tied up with work and such now.
