    As many of you know, I've been somewhat scarce around here over the last 3 weeks due to having an umbilical hernia surgery. I'm slowly recovering and making my way back. Today I felt good enough to take some pictures. So I now share with you one of my latest acquisitions for my Gillette collection.

    New Old Stock 1940 Gillette Milady Tech. These were marketed towards women for their half-size handle.

    The crushed velvet is pristine as is the whole case, the razor is pristine and the original blades still sealed.

    Here's an idea, Jody... maybe next time (if there is one), you can get, ahem, prepped for surgery by one of your own collection. You'd be the coolest kid on the shaving block.

    That would draw too much attention...you gotta keep it on the down low when you are making off with a large portion of the hospital's med prep razors.;) By the way, nice razor.
