After nine years of collecting I finally have one! 1960 F 4 Gillette Bottom Dial 195. Although this want the popular choice for shavers back in 1960 it’s still a cool piece ! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Very nice to see one, very rare find and in that good a shape cost you some coin. Thanks for sharing and enjoy it.
Ha, I'd be last man standing . I believe I once rated the bottom dial the ugliest razor ever (some Chinese models probably since edged closer). Sent from my LG-US998 using Tapatalk
Sure , owned one for a brief period. Not close. “Simplification first and before everything else,.... Improved appearance is simply a spinoff of simplification.” --; Raymond Loewy Seven (count em 7) different pointlessly contrasting textures competing for your attention. A violation of everything sacred in good industrial design. Not to take away from its value as a collectible of course, and even ugly ducklings can be loveable so I can still earnestly say congratulations to the OP.
Too Cool For School!!... Congratulations JoeB....And I"m sure shes a GREAT shaver, as all the Gillette Adj.'s that I've shaved with were. I hope you use her often, and enjoy every stroke! Man scoring a beautiful example of one of your Holy Grails is a Superb Joy of Life. And she is quite easy on the eyes aswell! Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk
I love my Gillette Adjustables! Nice find! I’m pretty sure I seen your post on FaceBook earlier today!
This ugly duck has 9 adjustable settings. And I’m a huge fan of traditional 3 PC razors as you could probably tell from the back round. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
