    Nice razors, all 3. I think you'll like the Slim the best once you're used to it. Maybe it's been said already, but the date codes are on the underside of the head. C-1, K-2, L-3...or something like that. Then check Gillette date codes on Google. You can date all 3 easily. They're gonna be '50's and '60's.

    Yes, my favorite of those 3 is the slim adjustable. Very intrigued by the ability to use something that old, that works like it was just made today. I will definitely keep eyes open for antique razors. But now that I have my new ej de89 , I am totally blown away by my shaves. :happy069:

    Oh, you are gonna be a happy camper. My DE89 was my first razor and still a favorite. I like the heavier weight of it.

    Thanks. Just need to get used to the tweezerman badger now. A lot softer than the VDH that was included in my initial kit.

    I've heard the Tweeserman brush is a good brush. You may also want to check out Whipped Dog brushes, they're very nice and reasonably priced. But, then again, I'm just a noob, what do I know?

    Where does one find a Whipped dog brush ?

    www.whippeddog.com

    Or search Google.

    I think the site is a little confusing, but send Larry, the owner, an email and he'll help you out. You can pick the handle, the brush, and other options.
