    I needs some plating big time. But, that doesn’t affect the shave. Thank you sir!

    Excellent suggestion. The cap is scratched quite abit. But I bet they can fix that before plating.

    are the scratches down to brass?,most rhodium plating is nickel plated first..

    Pretty scratched but I think they can smooth it out.

    You may conclude otherwise after becoming familiar with the trajectory of Gillette razor technology which was not about Improving performance but on cutting production costs, improving durability, broadening the appeal beyond straight razor shavers familiar with narrow angles and light pressure, and Improving compatibility with brushless creams.

    It makes me tingly

    This, for me, is the reason I ended up settling on the 100, 102, and early ABC as my preferred razors. The 162 gets semi-regular action because it's a looker.

    in that light i don't disagree .i am still in the honeymoon /collecting stage of my gillette journey,but will get there..at the new deluxe/ improved stage at present..my single ring is in nice shape, though caseless but is in the sights..there are many other types of razors i still want to try and dial in in the future..
