    Gillette Valet Autostrop VC3, Feather FHS-10 stainless blade, shave 3.

    This razor was made after 1939 so it most certainly qualifies for this thread since it is a uniquely Gillette product under the Autostrop division of Gillette. We also know a few of these were made with the Gillette company name stamped on the razor head.

    When I use this razor I have to check if there is a blade inside. To me super mild but it does the job.

    Nice razor and I have to opine maybe the best shaver of the British Gillette razors also. I think it is that good that the one(s) I have are in the N.F.S. (not for sale) category and not moving out of it anytime soon.

    Another nice razor, you almost never find the 4 piece ones for sale. That is definitely a cool collector's piece regardless of how it shaves.
