Here's an unusual combination with a unique design on the exterior of the traveler-style case. Seems like Gillette may have provided the soap & brush canisters, the blades and blade banks. And they combined efforts on the case. The razor itself is unmistakable. And effective. Great set I was fortunate to find on eBay.
Sweet!! I have never seen or heard of the "Kirby Beard & CO" or ever seen one of their safety razors until this post, that I know of. There is an interesting and big article on the co in B&B. The handle looks very Apolloish to me. You can always learn something new at TSD.
Hi Jake, 6 years later =) I found the same razor but with the kirby case. How does it shave? Im waiting mine to arrive...
Might have better luck catching Jake over on Badger & Blade. By all reports, Kirby razors shave excellently.
I was so lucky. I should get it by tuesday. You will see the photos =) The Gold rocket is also on the deal! Im feeling like a kid again xD
Finally it arrived! The Gold rocket is a Gold aristocrat Jr! Its taking a bath now. It needs some tlc.
Amazing shave! A while ago I compared the gibbs 17 with the fatboy. And the fatboy won. I have to test the gibbs with different blades. The kirby with a normal Lord blade was great. Perfect balance, smooth shave and the scalloped head, I believe it makes the diference. Its less surface touching on your face, so less drag. Really great razor.
