    I believe I used one of those one time along time ago so I can’t remember. But this thing shaves extremely well!

    Took the 1955 Red Tip out for a shave this afternoon. If patchouli isn't your thing, you wouldn't like Glastonbury by Stirling Soap Company. Rumor has it it's been restocked and currently available.

    I have looked around, and haven’t seen many silver New Gillettes. Is it just me or they are a lot less common than the gold version? I have seen plenty of gold ones.

    That’s a great rotation!
    Stills great for never being redone!

    Great choice!

    Razor: Gillette 106 1921 Bostonian (844901A)
    Blade: Astra Platinum
    Brush: Star Ivory Handle Restore
    Pre-Shave: Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle
    Lather: Captain’s Choice Venture
    Additional Care:
    Creed Venture EDP
    Stirling Executive Man Beard Oil

    Missing in the picture is the Executive Man Beard Oil. I think all 3 scents work well with one another.

    I like that case I have the more common design on mine. Don’t see many like that.

    The NEW Long Comb and Short Comb are primarily available in a gold wash. They do appear with a Chromium finish in a few of the sets as well as Nickel, but I have not seen one, to my recollection, in Silver.
    The New Improved can be found in Gold Wash, Multi-layer Gold or Triple-plated Silver, but that was during the Roaring Twenties when a steak dinner could run you $125-$150 and your final tab could be $400.

    A razor without a story is almost as dull as a razor without a blade.
