    thank you Jim.i would say it's one of gillettes rarest as it only came in the 1953 canadian military tech set.its also my favorite for grip and weight and i use it on most of my open combs and techs..

    Awesome, Gary! That handle reminds me of an AutoStrop handle from VC3 or VC4.

    FRIDAY'S SHAVE

    [​IMG]

    Perfumed by:
    Alberto Morillas
    [​IMG]

    Razor - Stirling Soap's Slant
    Blade - [​IMG] *Fresh Blade
    Shave Brush - Wood Razor's TruStone Turquoise (with 24mm Synthetic Nylon Knot by The Golden Nib)
    Chrome Razor/Brush Stand
    Shave Soap - WSP "Matterhorn"
    Post Shave Toner - Humphreys "Cucumber Melon" Witch Hazel
    Aftershave Balm - Dolce & Gabbana "Light Blue" Pour Homme
    Deodorant - Kiss My Face "Cucumber Green Tea"
    Fragrance - Dolce & Gabbana "Light Blue Eau Intense" Pour Homme

    ***EDIT - 2 pass + clean up. Excellent summer scent. Excellent shave. I should have done a bowl lather with PAA Chill Mill crystals to make this perfect. Still this shave was excellent. I used the Lather & Wood pre-shave oil to protect my skin a bit since I shaved at noon today and expect I might shave in the morning tomorrow and want to prevent irritation as much as possible for the next shave. One the clean up I only spot-chased BBS and was extra careful not to over-shave while trying to get tiny stubs. BBS results. Really enjoyed this shave and the Light Blue Eau Intense scent is a great tarty-puckery margarita type scent. Definitely a great scent for the Vegas heat.
