    One more endorsement for the razor tune up service at Razor Emporium. I recently sent in a sad Gillette red tip that was badly out of whack: the doors would not even close all the way. It came back perfect and gleaming!

    Thanks Gary, that's what I was thinking but ya never know when someone in here has the simple quick fix solution. I'm mechanically inclined but I don't have the tool selection or the clamps and vises to do the intricate work.

    I recently acquired one of these, I don't imagine it'll be any different from a nickel fat handle, but whatever, something new.
    Love the case, gotta find one for mine still.

    Used my Gillette New Improved Tuckaway today. Originally nickel plated, I had it replated in rhodium. sos211019.JPG

    just arrived.

    though it came from across the pond with a nice brit fb tech, i believe this case to be correct for the late 50s brit flare tip rocket razor.

    it's a fine home for my rhodium rocket which was previously caseless.

    after a bit of trading with a buddy i got this windsor case in red/brown.
    not sure if this was a late 20's old type case or an early new, i opted for my 1940 gold triangle slot tech to reside in it..;)

    This Canadian Tech might be one of the more efficient Techs ever made. ;)

    Here's a Gillette ABC set with a factory engraved case I found years ago. It includes a factory repaired razor (secondary L serial number). It is a complimentary set, given to whom is anyone's guess. Maybe someone here can fill in that blank.

    Thursday's Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #30 Silvertip
    Gillette Sheraton
    Astra SP
    CWR
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm

    The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Sheraton with an Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
