  1. Thank you. Will do! I've only had it a few days and haven't yet used it.......been admiring it, however. It's like a brand new razor, and almost too pretty to use. The TTO works beautifully and holds the blade tight and true.

    It was a "just released" buy-it-now on eBay from a seller that doesn't appear to sell razors much, if at all. Considering the price and the "near mint" description, I decided I had to act quickly, or it would be gone. I'm so glad I did!
  2. Thank you, Jim. I'm really excited about this razor!
  3. Nice razor! Here's a couple of old ads for that set you might enjoy.

  4. Wow! That IS the exact same set. And, apparently, it is gold plated....I wasn't completely sure.

    I love the old razor ads. Thank you very much for posting this, Tom.
  5. Quick question: I have a Gem Pushbutton. I assume I can't put plastic in Barbacide. How can I sterilize this razor? Thanks.
  6. I used scrubbing bubbles on mine with no ill effects.
  7. Same here. Use that on all my razors, to include my two Pushbuttons. I've had zero issues.
  8. I did the same. No problems.
  9. Man, I wanna know which razor the cat on the left is using...now thats a close shave I tell ya....But I still think I'll stick with the GEM...lol!!

    Thanks Tom, you killin me with these great vintage ads...

  10. I picked up a type M3 Adjustable at an antique store yesterday. It cleaned up easily and I put it to use on a 3 day growth this morning.

    Wow!

    Using the most aggressive setting, I got a BBS with 2 passes, something previously achieved only with a Ziglar slant.

    I prefer the look of the earlier Eversharps, but the Adjustable will be my main razor for a long time to come.

  11. Schick pretty much hit it out of the park with their adjustable injectors!

  13. I've been wanting to take one of these injectors for a spin for a while now. I picked up an E2 a little while ago and finally got around to getting some blades for the darned thing! So I'm looking forward to putting it to good use in the near future. :)

    That is excellent! Enjoy!
  18. This morning was my first shave with a Schick E2 I picked up a while back. Very comfortable and a fairly close shave too. The blade was a Personna, stainless I think. From one of the 20 blade cartridges. I like how the spring pivots to one side to allow the blade guard to come away somewhat from the back of the razor - sure makes cleaning it easy.

    I plan to stay with the Schick for the next few days, but the inaugural shave was pretty darn good! :)

  19. Can anyone tell me if a 1912 is more aggressive than a featherweight.

  20. To me it is but only slightly.
