French care package arrived safely (Two Gibbs 14s, Gibbs 16, Gibbs 17, Leresche 34, Apollo Bijou). I've previously posted a couple of these. The one I'm really surprised by is the Gibbs 16, it's a nicely substantial piece, at 62g it actually weighs a bit more than the Leresche, and is much better balanced than the Gibbs adjustables (15,17).

This is the1910s French Apollo with weird proprietary blades. Of course they weren't weird and It probably shaved nice in 1910. Modding modern DE blades is not possible*, but I can get an Injector blade to sit securely so I'll give it a spin. It's a beautiful razor in superb condition. *You could cut a three hole blade in half and trim to fit. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk
