January 2021 30 Day Rule/30 Day Focus Pic and Discussion Thread- All are Welcome

thank you Myles.it's a fine shaver..

 

Thank you, Jeff. I really don't feel that much difference between the two razors; maybe slightly more blade exposure with the Red Tip. I shave efficiently with both razors fortunately.

Thank you, Gary. I don't really know. Would a magnet test provide the answer?

 

dawn soap and a toothebrush.gold doesn't really tarnish like silver..

 

Great shaves all around Gentlemen !!

 

yes..the aluminum version is a lot lighter as well.steel will weigh similar to your flare tip..

 

thank you Dave..

 

thank you Jeff..

 

Just tested it. The magnet sticks strong to the handle and also the baseplate. There is only a slight reaction to the doors and the center bar.

 

Thank you Dave .

 

That's what I just said!!!! (chuk-yuk-yuk).

 

Thank you Dave.

 

Sneak peak at tomorrow's shave. Given to me by my stepfather and was a gift to him on his 21st birthday while in the Air Force and stationed in England back in 1960. It had everything in pristine condition except the razor which I hope I found the period correct one for it. I know Gillette had their razors added to tons of these sets that were sold back then in England.

 

I strayed from the one razor rule since my Canadian Type E3 injector arrived yesterday. I might also join in on the Gary Gillette mini focus next week.

 

very cool ..most of the steel ones including my own were dated x -... for what it's worth.korean war brass shortage..black tips were only ever made in/for the u.s market for 3 or so years..

 

cool razor Andrew..love the black handle/chrome..

 

Yeah it really is a good looker, Type E equivalent of the Schick 66 Type G looks wise. Shaves much better though.

 

very cool....my 1948 ish brit gillette set with culmac brush..razor still has the cellophane on the head..soap has no scent left..

 

Sneak peak of some razors I plan to use for the Gary Gillette mini focus.

first up a 36 - 38 1st gen British made for the French market Aristocrat


Next up a 46 - ?? Ranger Tech and a 40s style Super Speed. There are a total of 3 versions of the 40s style super speed. This one is the very first version aka the equivalent of a baseball rookie card for a Super Speed produced from Nov. 1947 until Jan. and maybe as late as Feb. of 48.

 

Actually, I use Johnson's and Johnson's baby oil when I want to shine my head.

 

Thanks, it looked like a Simpson handle, but then I realized you have the pumpkin colored handle.
