3/13/20 - Fat Friday Feather FuzzTech Shave
Klenzo Brush
Timeless Shaving Bowl
Mitchell’s Wool Fat Soap
FuzzTech on Possible Simplex Handle - Maybe Gillette ?
Feather Blade
Clubman Aftershave Lotion
Awesome fat shave with the FuzzTech and the Fat. Three passes, no blood loss and smooth as almost the day I was born. I was a pretty baby.
Finished the shave off with the Club.
I put a rather unusual handle on the FuzzTech that I purchased off of E-bay in January of 2019.
I cannot find any information on it but I copied some of my post from January of last year.
Y’all have a great Friday!

O.K. guys...see if y'all can help out with a little info on a razor I picked up off of the Bay. It is the metal handle razor in the left of this picture. It is a Simplex brand and I grabbed it because the handle was unusual. I also like the little Gem Feather Weight as well. I could not pass both of them up for $6.75 including shipping. Has anyone seen the metal handle Simplex before and any info would be appreciated.

I searched the web over and the only reference I can find to a metal handle Simplex was on TSD. Everything else is bakelite handles.

Alright guys, the handle that came on this E-bay Simplex has me scratching my head I was hoping someone with more razor knowledge could figure this one out.
After closer inspection and comparison I believe the handle to actually be a Gillette handle. I did notice that when I unscrewed the “Simplex” two piece handle that the male threads had what appeared to be red Loc-tite. Did the handle manufacturer ever intend for the handle to be unscrewed or had someone added a little Loc-tite after the razor was manufactured? I don't know. Does anyone know if Gillette has ever manufactured a travel tech extension like this?
The link below is the only example of this type handle I have found on the web. It is item number 2 on the first post.
