Thanks Gary, nice to get that confirmation. I have been trawling though the posts here and online but gave up. I see you are one of those that have the inside scoop on these Gillettes! Not a big deal to me to nail the specific year, late 40s is good enough for me. That makes this >10 years older than me, which is kind of cool. Just a surreal feeling to use a razor that old, flaws and all, and get such a great result.

fair enough.certain models offer better results than others.most gillette fans agree that the 46-7 'crat it a finer shave than a 48-51 version.but that is that.enjoy your divulgence into said examples and chose your own favorites.

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick
Jayaruh #224
Gillette NEW DeLuxe Norfolk
Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade
CWS
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Osage Rub

The TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette NEW DeLuxe Norfolk and a Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
