Ah, I see the difference. Thanks for the info.
[IMG] [IMG] Diamond baseplate, square knurling. The original version. As to current Gillette quality, the King C. isn't a bad razor. I mean I...
I have a '75 (V2) but I can't say I'm crazy about it. It shaves fine but the build is nowhere near as good as the earlier Super Speeds. It is...
I am quite interested in the history, design, technology, and materials used in shaving technology and I have a fair collection of vintage and...
GSB or Feather, no prep other than a shower, whatever soap I have (usually Stirling). It's all good. After all, it's just a shave. :)
I have about 20 post-WWII Gillettes and I've been wet shaving for most of the past 50+ years. I use all of them at least once in a while but...
The T2 has just about replaced all the other brushes in my small collection of a dozen or so badgers, boars and horse. I also have the T1, which...
I think I paid $40 for my '68 Slim. I did have RE "tune" it up for another $40 but it looks and works like it's brand new... [img]
I think a Gillette Slim Adjustable ticks all these boxes. [img] You should be able to find one in excellent condition - like mine above - for...
I've been using a Simpson T2 almost exclusively for the last few months - I do use a T1 when I travel. I also have a T3 but it's just too big for...
Regarding the TV Special Superspeed that I posted a photo of a few messages ago, since I had taken it out I decided to shave with it for a week....
I have badger, boar, horse and synthetics. For many years badger was by far my favourite but over the last year or so I have moved over to almost...
Here's my D2-'58 TV Special (USA). The red case was also exclusive to it. [IMG]
Nice find. I have a cased V1-'75. It weighs in at 48g, quite a bit less than my '56 Red Tip at 64g, or '55 Flare Tip at 58g. It's probably...
I'm also a big fan of the Simpson Trafalgar line. They are very nicely made and at $26-$35 level a bargain. The knots are densely packed which...
If you like the early Superspeeds then also don't overlook the Black Tip models. They are interesting in that during 1950-51 Gillette used...
That is a nice, clean and complete set. I like those models too. I do find them just a little "petite" in my hand but I love the simplicity of...
I have a few of these flare tips, and a few more if you include the red and blue tips, and the TV special. I definitely think the earlier ones...
I recently bought some TOBS Sandalwood. The cream lathered really well and provided a great shave but the scent was just too overpowering for me....
