My latest.. 1958 (D-3 date code) Gillette Executive, aka "adjustable Executive", aka "gold Fat Boy". I figured since I've the 1949 Executive, might as well get the other Executive too...

The original 1949 rhodium-plated Executive (left) and the 1958 adjustable gold-plated Executive (right):

yeah, might as well...you know...while you're at it...

nice catch! (I like the '49 though)

Yes, exactly. I mean, it almost goes without saying...

Great looking razors there, Jody. Congrats

Sweeeeeeet!

"yeah, might as well...you know...while you're at it..."

What took you so long?

Very nice

dam fine lookin razor's there jody.

Very nice Jody!

I am trying my best to control my spending habits. I wish you would quit showing nice finds like this.

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

Excellent pair!

I figured Jake had a pact with the devil to keep coming up with all his beautiful razors - now I am thinking the deal might have been made with you!!!!

Another wonderful score. I love the two photos merged together.......

Excellent set! Great score and these cousins needed to reconnect after 60+ years. Glad you have them both in a good home again...

Another beautiful example Jody!

Very nice and do you have the adjustable gold aristocrat to complete the set?

Nope, haven't really been in a hurry to pick one of those up yet but I guess I'll have to now. I don't even have a Toggle... anymore. Used to. Back when I had to liquidate to pay for mom's funeral, it was one of the first that I had to let go of. It hurt me in the heart bad to do it but I had to.... and my double ring too.

Are the double ring OC's in the ABC sets considered a double ring or just the older shaft and tube OC's?

Just the shaft/tube one is considered/called a "double ring" and that's not the official name really. It's just a name shavers and collectors use to differentiate it from the "single ring".

Thanks, I have only the ABC type
