cool shave and pic T..

 

Thanks Gary!

 

Gillette Nacet, Bic Chrome Platinum blade, shave 2


Razor is open comb version of the British Tech. I've had this razor for awhile now and am justing getting to using it. 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.

 

What a fun and cool looking set!

 

Wait...that razor was made in 1924? That head shape, finish and design are amazing for that era! Contours and edges and overall thickness for that as a piece of tooling are remarkable.

 

Thx. G
