My 1940’s Milord is now up on eBay. Full description at the link. This one really is in amazingly good condition. I found I didn’t use it (which is why I’m selling: got to pay for my KME knife-sharpening system), preferring my 1940’s Super Speed with the unnotched bar and somewhat intimidated by the beautiful condition of the razor and box.
The blades, I’m sure, are anomalous. I believe that that time they were still using the blades in the blue package with the signature and likeness of King Camp Gillette (what a monicker!).
And just to say: my kitchen knives are now really sharp. I used a 20º, resetting the bevel as needed. (The X-Coarse diamond hone was very handy.) Once the bevel’s right, the other three stones and the strop go very fast. They seem to be simply polishing the bevel.
