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

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?
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.

Really hot boiling water to aliminium foil and add baking soda. It is very good if the plating is silver. Its no aggressive on the silver oxide. I've used it on a couple of vintage "Improved" unmentionaable from that monopoly company which makes moern 3-4-5 vibrating blade abominations .
Edit : Make sure the razor touches the aluminium literally loosely wrapped.

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.
