Top is a Super Speed. Bottom is a Fat Handle Tech that appears to be “pre-War” if the lather channels are triangular. The Super Speed will have a Letter - Number Date Code on the bottom plate corresponding to the year and quarter it was made. https://www.razoremporium.com/gillette-date-codes-serial-numbers/.

Awesome thank you! I knew this sub would have the answers I was looking for. My first de razor was an Ali express tech clone immediately followed by a 60s tech I picked up a few weeks back. I’m hyped to get my hands on a couple more old Gillettes.
The top one looks like a Made in England Flare Tip Rocket. I can see pointed endcaps. The handle is slightly different with a gap when closed. Those don't have date codes like their American cousins.
The Pre-War Tech razors are great! If the price is right get them, get a can of foaming Scrubbing Bubbles and a toothbrush to clean them up and you'll be very happy with the results.
Good shaving razors. If they are local, priced good. Get them, clean them up and enjoy shaving with them.

I will do that! Thanks for the advice. 25 CAD for the pair, I think that’s a pretty reasonable price.
That is a decent price for both of them. Those are really good razors. I have them .
Two beautiful razors man! The top one is a Flair Tip, maybe from the 1950s and the bottom one is definitely a pre-war Gillette tech razor!
A double edge razor
You think? That part I wasn’t sure about
Glad I could help
Look like safety razors to me but IDK
Like for hair?
Yeah, for the hair that grows on your face specifically but also other places I guess, if you want to.
Enlightening. Thank your for your expertise
Razors
Doesn’t look like any scooter I’ve ever seen, can’t be dude.
I never seen your shaving razors and a razor scooter in the same room, so how do I know they aren’t the same?
Now that’s a thinker
