Gillette Toggle vs Gillette Slim & Gillette Platinum (2)

Supremacy Silver Parfum by AFNAN

Two horses from the same stable. Great, great shave. Real close, closer than I expected but, I give by the slightest of margins the nod to the Toggle. Just a tiny bit more efficient and nearly as smooth as the Slim. Honestly, you can’t lose with either one. A great evening and shaves to all...​

OFSR (Our Famous Safety Razor), despined gem ss ptfe blade, shave 4


Second go round with this razor. It is a very mild razor, reminds me a lot of the model C autostrop that can also use a despined gem blade but is much more efficient of a shaver. As I've stated before this razor is rebrand of a Burham and since it was sold by ISR it puts the razor in the date range of 1918 through sometime in the 1920s.

Thank you Gus. I hope you are doing well.

 

All is well amigo. Likewise to you and yours, my friend....
