They're sometimes called the Star Trek razor, probably late 60s into the mid 70s.

I kind of jumped in with both feet . Got them on Wednesday and have been shaving with the Featherweight. Really enjoying it and can't wait to try the others.Very nice collection already! Those are gorgeous! How do you like the shaves?
The Bakelite handle on the Treet razor fits the EverReady head. Now technically I agreed to buy the Treet before the EverReady entered the conversation the next morning but to those outside the Wet Shaving Comm. I had to buy the Treet Razor in order to get the handle for the EverReady head
Thanks to Doug, (DblDe) I was able to get an instant SE collection. Been messaging each other over the last week about the razors and other shave stuff. Great guy and very helpful.
I want to give a shout out to Brian (ShadowsDad). In addition to this thread I found some reviews of his on TSN which were very helpful as well as answering questions I had about what to look for and what to ask/confirm when looking to buy this style of razor.
Thanks also to all those who have posted on here with your insight.
Sorry not the best photographer:

Really liking the SE blades.Which injectors did you get? If you don't have an E-type yet shoot me a PM, maybe we can trade or maybe I can just PIF it to you. Let me know

Been very happy with the shaves so far. Still need to concentrate on the angle. Pretty good about it on the first pass but when I start moving a little quicker on the second and third I tend to angle it more like a DE. I stop and reset the angle. i just need to slow it up until I get it down.
