    Alright you Vintage Gillette Historians - I've got a question. A Super Speed with date code Z-1, but not a Flare Tip. The '40's style. Is that a TV Special only if it comes in the particular box?

    Sunday shave


    Gillette Single Ring made in Canada
    Astra sp
    Crabtree and Evelyn West Indian Lime shaving cream
    Every Ready brush restored by @Enrico
    Florida Water

    Great shave. This Canadian single ring has the thinner cap. My single ring made in England has the thicker cap. It shaves very well but I really like the thinner cap single ring shaves.
    Refreshing shave. Great brush! Thank you @Enrico!

    Okay. I got a question. Will somebody please tell me what a "single ring and double ring" razor is? I really am partial to the old style razors and have 1 but I keep seeing single ring and double ring and have tried to determine what is meant by that. I really really like the one Jrdelgado just posted and am on the hunt.
