    I've always wondered if lapping film degrades as used. Do you notice any wear?

    Hi all
    Haven't had time to catch up on things this morning but will do that later.
    Changing things again here in the den to keep it fresh I went with a razor I'm fond of. Even though it's a cheap razor I still get a great shave when paired with a sharp blade. The Dollar store Assured Buck razor. Now changing soap to some Wool Fat, a soap I've had trouble with in the past, very hard water. I took my time and really loaded the brush well, that's the secret to this stuff. No blooming, just light on the water and a heavy loaded brush here. Got a nice thick lather, to thick, after the lather formed I was able to thin it to where I like it, adding water as I went. Because it's Monday, I pulled out the Menthol for a treat, nice! 2 passes on the face, change the blade, 2 passes on the head. A great shave, no issues, ready for the day.

    A little Nivea to soften things up too.
    To all
    Enjoy

    Thanks, Joseph!
    The seller had it listed as a '46, I think it's a '41 though. I don't know much about vintage Gillettes so I could be wrong. From what I've read they shave the same, so I'm happy.

    That's the picture that led me to believe he was selling a "41.

    You got the desirable model, James. Great shaver and one of the true 'unicorns' of collectible Gillettes.

    No shave yesterday so two days of stubble were mowed down with ease and efficiency. Wonderful lather, marvelous razor, and a cold finish. Nice way to start the week.

    Have a great day!
