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! https://theshaveden.com/forums/index.php?posts/2000602
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've done minor door adjustments on some when needed but,nothing major.been lucky so far.rocket center bar mechanisms are quite brittle,don't ask how i know..
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.
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..
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.
