    It's here, it's here. My new Double Ring is here
    Now to show some decorum. I bought a lot of six for a good price with this Double Ring in it. It says "Pat Apl'd For" on the handle and does not have a serial number. I believe this makes it a 1903 "Model 100" from what I have read. Can anyone confirm this for me?

    Correct. U.S. Models were not patented until 1904 and British Models until 1902. Pre 1904 models did not have serial numbers.

    And I have been so excited I haven't taken the time to catalog the others. I think one might be a Milord.

    I'd be dancing the happy dance.
    I already show the ones I have off to people who really don't care to see them. I think that one is totally awesome.
    great eye, and great find.

    Yeah, I think an early Gillette DR is a holy grail/white whale for many wetshaving collectors. Good on @mrchick for scoring one :)

    These DR/SR oldies also tend to clean up really well....

    I unnecessarily shaved today. I'm usually an every other day guy due to having a light beard combined with light hair, but I couldn't wait. The soap is the slickest I've used and it hydrates wonderfully! I used a couple drops of the m bomb with my Gabel's Lime and, wow, what a treat! It seems the oil helps also, and my face never felt better. I'm sold!

    Since your face never felt better, it looks to me as if you did not unnecessarily shave! Enjoy!

    I got quite the haul today. My eBay seller sent my Nano Wee Scot 2nd day air, which was nice of them. Also got my thuya wood shave bowl and the Saponificio Varesino Aromatic Fern
    soap to grate into it.

    Thuya wood has the most profound odor I've ever smelled. Like Sandalwood, but better.

    Pics later. I'm at the Roller Rink now.

    I'll give him $40.13 and a cookie. He doesn't want to deal with some lowballin' wannabe player.
