  14. Gillette (most likely) Probak

    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Depending when the razor was produced it is either an Autostrop or Probak division of Gillette. They produced a lot more of these as after the merger with Gillette than before. One thing for certain if you like the smoothness of a Gillette Long Comb and the more aggressive / efficient shave of a Short Comb then this razor is for you since it combines the best of both. If you like the even more aggressiveness of the Goodwill 160 this razor can also do that if you adjust the cap to offset the blade.

  15. If you like the New short or long comb you'll like this razor for sure. They don't come up for sale that often but they aren't in the near to unobtainable status if you are diligent about watching for them on ebay, etsy or the bst listings on these forums.
