I just ordered The General. I am officially now on restraint for a while. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
It would have been the standard Gillette blade of the day. Gillette stopped all civilian production from 1942 through 1945 to supply the military. Started civilian production again in 1946.
I'll check on Neal's efforts - thanks. I live in a rather rural community and neither of the two grocery stores carry any DE blades - nor does the one drug store. That's the main reason I ordered a substantial sample of blades. First new blade test will be this afternoon in about 2 hours. Need to get ready for Friday night date night. For 46 years, the wife and I have gone out to dinner and drinks every Friday night. Except for when I was deployed while in (30 years) the Army. I have been using Merkur blades that came with my new 34C. I'm going to start with the Astra blades and Cella soap.

Was finally able to snag a Black Hawk tonight with some Kai blades and just to get the free shipping I picked up a RR soap and aftershave set (Santal Royale). Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
Since I really liked the BBS-1 razor that I got a few days ago I wanted to 'treat' it to a somewhat different handle in addition to the BBS-1 stock handle. So I have one of James' Darwin inspired stainless steel handles on its way to me. I decided on polished as that would go best with the head. Then...I remembered that I have a matte/satin Wolfman razor head...and decided to also get a satin Darwin handle.... So now I have two of these beauties on their merry way to me Looking forward to how they will look paired. Wofman stock photo of the handles;
Incoming. BELLMAN 東京. $9.50 LUTZ 43. $12.01 Both look like they need polishing up a lot. They cost $9.00 total to ship from Japan. I have a feeling I will be busy with these.
I missed out on this French razor, from France. It only had a few hours left on the bid, and when I asked the seller the price to ship to the USA, and whether he would ship to the USA, I was sound asleep. The razor didn't sell, so I asked If I could have it for 5 Euros + 6 Euros shipping. He agreed. It's now on the way to me. Hopefully it hones up well.
Odd handle on Gillette razor Seller said a stone handle, i was interested enough to bid minimally, and won.
1 x Almond Creme - Shave (Size: 1.1oz Sample Puck) 1 x Hot Apple Cider - Shave (Size: 1.1oz Sample Puck) 1 x Pumpkin Spice - Shave (Size: 1.1oz Sample Puck) 1 x Aftershave Splash Sample Pack of 4 (5ml bottles) (5ml Scent #1: Vanilla Sandalwood, 5ml Scent #2: Bay Rum, 5ml Scent #3: Arkadia, 5ml Scent #4: Texas On Fire) 1 x Thick Walled Shave Jar - 4oz 1 x Synthetic Shave Brush - 24mm x 51mm I tried Williams Shave Soap and did not care for it. With all of the applause on this website, for the Stirling Soap Company, I can not go wrong with their product.
Finally found a Schick Type C3. This rounds out my collection of Schick injector/repeaters. It will be waiting for me when I get to Missouri next week.
