    Some further speculation on the earliest CA razors:
    PC xxxxx = Pocket Edition Case
    C xxxxx = Case
    As such, I would not think your razor is from 1912. (1) 1909 was the last year of s/n on the stem; (2) CA manufacturing begins in 1906, though it is slow, it finds a more consistent production rate in 1907; (3) s/n "C 96122" is also on the stem, but C 102075 on top of the guard.

    Read you razor's s/n as C 87768, not C87768, and my guess is 1908 or 1909.

    It has been a while since I have shaved with one of my Gillettes since I have been on a SE kick since last November. I broke out my Gillette New Standard today. It was originally silver plated, but it was brassed pretty well, so I got a new coat of rhodium for it last year. It is a great little shaver.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #206
    Gillette New Standard
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Tabac AS

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #206 Brush. I did two passes with the Gillette New Standard razor with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
