-Vintage-Gillette-Shave-

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

 

awesome. if i was to replate one i would go the rhodium route. they deserve it..

 

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..

 

Yessir. Almost all the plating is gone on the cap

 

should be fixable unless gouged..

 

Pretty scratched but I think they can smooth it out.

very cool razor sir, history..

 

Not just history, for me no Gillette improves upon the shave.

 

very cool sir. i am not there yet.i have an early single ring i need to get acquainted with more.for me to say that would be like saying the model t was fords best car.one day...

 

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..
