I've been wanting a Gillette New Deluxe Tuckaway for the longest time. I finally scored one the other day. - https://www.ebay.com/itm/253063455155 It looks to be in pretty decent shape except for the liner on the interior, which is right up my alley. I love reconditioning these old razor cases. I already have the material on hand. Thanks for any interest. Have a blessed day!
Gotcha. I landed a gold because it was all I could find. Much prefer the silver. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
In my honest opinion, these Gillette New Deluxe heads are probably the most efficient shavers ever produced. I have a Red & Black set New Deluxe, and a New Belmont Deluxe as well. This will be my first Tuckaway New Deluxe. I can't wait.
I thought about trying the tuckaway head on the new handle. What fabric do you use to do the inside? Ive been debating redoing mine. Sent from my SM-G930P using Tapatalk
Hi @Stu929 , the razor you have in your photo is a New Improved style head on a Tuckaway handle. It is a correct set, just a different style than the New Deluxe head. The New Deluxe Type heads are flat on the bottom. No guideposts. The New Improved heads have an Old Type style head. With guideposts. As far as material for restoring the interior on these cases, I use polyester stretch velvet.
My new goody is the stainless steel Tactile Turn Mach 3 handle, the Pruner, by Will Hodges ordered from http://www.tactileturn.com/store/pruner-parer-razor-handles . I love the feel of the handle and its weight. I also like the plastic container it was encased in upon arrival as it will serve as a useful travel container.
Thur 17th Aug Just arrived from Greece, courtesy of a Fellow Shaver. Have been on the fence with the ATT, so grabbed this one with a Chunky Handle. Nice Chap gifted me Tub of L`Occitaine Cade cream.
