    I just received one of these today, just now, from the 1st bid I’ve ever won on eBay. The last one I got had issues adjusting but this one adjusts fine and looks great as well. I can’t wait for my first shave with it, maybe tonight. Its an E4 so was born between 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 months after I was born, which makes me even fonder of it.

    That was just the cases, not the shavers, they tend to be weaker material from what my dad now has, his Birthday shaver 1960 model in the plastic cover. Still better then my cheap case I got for travel that is still adequate in the plastic where I have to use a hair band to keep the new cheap case closed.

    Mine works OK as far as disassemble & reassembling.

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave


    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Green Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger
    Gillette New Standard
    Gillette Silver Blue
    Cold Water Rinse
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Mennen Skin Bracer AS

    The Proraso Green Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #30 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave . I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
