-Vintage-Gillette-Shave-

I have a new list of preferred ToOBS creams.
Royal Forest, Platinum, No. 50, St. James, and Mr. Taylor's. RF smells like good sweet tea tastes, only with a sweet acidic kick at the end.

 

Hmmm, now I have to get me one of those...thank you Sir as always for the insight.

 

Do I know the guy?

Which 2 do you have? As of right now, 80% of my shaves are with an ABC or 102. I am easily a fan of the ABC Pocket Edition Sets. I work in a couple of other razors, but they are easily the most attractive DE razors ever produced for the masses.

 

I have a silver shell in a basket case and a gold shell in a plain case. The silver has the triangle teeth on the head and the gold has the regular teeth. The silver is my favorite. They both shave very well. I don’t use them all of the time but I do really like them both. Beautiful razors.

 

Lovely fellow goes by David, likes bourbon and all...solid guy.

 

So last shave was with the 38/39 Sheraton and as promised the razor today was the 34/35 A’crat. Soap of the day was RazoRock Nomad which is a favourite of mine, lots of warm spice and woods. Loaded up the A’crat with a fresh Gillette Wilkinson Sword and proceeded to slowly work through three wonderful passes on the way to BBSville! A phenomenal way to start the weekend. I must say that between the Sheraton and the A’crat that the milder of the two is the A’crat but I love them both.

I just bought a 1930s Gillette Arsitacrat OC TTO. I can’t wait till is comes in to see how it shaves.

 

You will love it!

 

What a beautiful razor! Very nice!

 

1904 double ring. My youngest is coming home from college a few days. I wanted to celebrate! Old dog still shaves as well as any of them, if not better.

Oh the “double”...awesome razor Sir!

 

Thank you very much. My favorite

thank you! 2 pass perfect shave.

 

Honestly I listened @Rev579 talk about his Senator so lovingly that I thought I would give one a go and lucked out on my Sheraton. Love it! Now the 34/35 A’crat is quite the story unto itself...LOL They are wonderful shavers and if you can snag one for decent coin you won’t be disappointed.

 

its the only gillette type i haven't tried, well not a toggle either but thats not my thing..i am more into the different gillette shaves..

 

Well they are well worth the wait for a good one at a good price.

 

on the list. though a british oc #15 crat would fit the bill...
