Wow...what an awesome razor. I'm guessing you've posted it before but for some reason it really caught my eye. It's a beauty.

 

thank you Chris.i have posted it before but not for quite some time..the gold on these early gillettes can be fragile so i use it rarely ..

Gillette Nacet, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, shave 2


Razor is open comb version of the British Tech. I don't if it is the comb or the fact it is branded as Nacet the razor is definitely more efficient and a closer shave than your standard tech. On the branding thing if what I think I know is correct is the Nacet branded razors were made for Middle Eastern market and as such may have been designed to shave differently than the British ones branded as Gillettes regardless of the comb.

 

cool nacet shave Andrew..

 

Interesting and neat fact about that razor! And your knowledge of the finish of the times. I love to hear ppl denounce zamak. materials and finishes from that era as not lasting too long for them. Yeah, I guess the last 75 yrs dont count. I respect ppl such as yourself who respect history and continuous improvement.

 

For that you really need to look at well used razors and how they held up not museum pieces.
