What are you waiting on to arrive...?

The top cover is a bit worn, but it closes evenly (although doesn't snap shut tight) and the felt is pretty good (although the lettering is almost totally gone)...




Very little plate loss on the heavy, solid handle (made in France?), with a bit of discoloring at the top, but cap & base plate are great. Gives a wonderfully smooth, mild, & close shave. My new daily driver.

Curious why Gillette would make the top in England and the handle (and also the case, I suppose) in France. Any reason for the mix & match?

 

awesome tech set.it's from around 1949/50 ish.shortly afterward the cap and plate were made in france and are stamped as such.like england it took them a while to get the machinery to produce the post war u.s design plates and caps.england had the flat bottom design until 1949 ish..

 

I want a flat bottom Brit Tech

 

they are fine razors .i like them for many reasons.they are still quite abundant..

 

Waiting on this to arrive.

 

very cool..

 

Thanks. It's a Franklin Toiletry item. I saw a few on the e of the bay and the e of the tsy but they went pretty quickly. Then didn't see any for a while. Plenty of the off white ones avaialable but these cobalt blue ones seem a little more scarce. Hopefully it's as good looking in person as it seems to be in the pics.

 

.on the way.i hope they introduce a matching aftershave..

 

i t looks awesome.i prefer the blue one as well..

 

Never seen one like that. It’s Awesome

After much searching on the eBay, I have settled on two MMOCs without bumps. I have been looking for a long time. They are from two different sources.

Couldn't pass up this NOS Surrey boar brush. It's green in color and got it at a very nice price..........

 

Why do I want one of those now?
