    After nine years of collecting I finally have one! 1960 F 4 Gillette Bottom Dial 195.
    Although this want the popular choice for shavers back in 1960 it’s still a cool piece !

    Very nice to see one, very rare find and in that good a shape cost you some coin.
    Thanks for sharing and enjoy it.

    I hope you didn't have to sell any organs to pay for that.

    If he says he got it at a yard sale for a buck, TSD will go into shock for a month.

    Ha, I'd be last man standing . I believe I once rated the bottom dial the ugliest razor ever (some Chinese models probably since edged closer).

    Sure , owned one for a brief period. Not close.

    “Simplification first and before everything else,.... Improved appearance is simply a spinoff of simplification.” --; Raymond Loewy

    Seven (count em 7) different pointlessly contrasting textures competing for your attention. A violation of everything sacred in good industrial design.

    Not to take away from its value as a collectible of course, and even ugly ducklings can be loveable so I can still earnestly say congratulations to the OP.

    Too Cool For School!!...
    Congratulations JoeB....And I"m sure shes a GREAT shaver, as all the Gillette Adj.'s that I've shaved with were. I hope you use her often, and enjoy every stroke!

    Man scoring a beautiful example of one of your Holy Grails is a Superb Joy of Life.


    And she is quite easy on the eyes aswell!

    Looks kind of futuristic. It would be cool if this was brought back out some kind of way.

    This ugly duck has 9 adjustable settings. And I’m a huge fan of traditional 3 PC razors as you could probably tell from the back round.
