Has anybody ever heard of or seen one of these? From the item description: Vintage 'The Weekender' shaving kit. Very very deco chrome and black brush with a Gillette Tech razor, shaving brush and tubular container stored inside the top. Has mirror on the inside of the lid. Comes with a tan genuine leather case. Marked Metalfield Inc. N.Y. City. Pat. Ap For. Made in USA and The Weekender. Inside flaps on case marked 'The Weekender' and 'Metalfield'.
Nice! I suspect the kit is made by another company, not Gillette and they included the razor. I've seen brush kits, but not as nice as this one. I have a Fold-A-Brush kit that includes a Gillette Tech.
Do you mean in general, or that particular listing? And yeah, I'm slipping -- scottydoint has been scoring all kinds of great Buy It Now razors right under my nose! :happy102
Yeah, somebody else has one. Cant remember who. Posted about it not to long ago trying to figure out what the brush is for. Couldnt decide if it were a hair brush or a shoe brush.
yeah but hes paying for it now. hes got a bunch of razors FS on another forum. ive never been there with razors, but ive been there with other things, so i understand his predicament. sometimes RAD isnt rad.
I have seen one before, but I do think it is a third party thing that just includes a Gillette razor. Still a very cool set. Here is a travel set I found a while back that I believe to also be 3rd party, that has a Norfolk in it
So, actually, it is even more of a rarity since very few would have been made. Nonetheless, it is on its way to me.
Yeah, right! If Rodd and I put both our collections together we'd still be a dot in your rear view mirror! :happy102
Definitely. I am an armature. I think Rick and Scott probably passed me up too. I know one thing, I don't have a #16
