Hello, guys just wanted to post some exciting news as I eagerly await the arrival of my Gillette Slim! My first DE was a parker 96R and I enjoy the cut and comfort it offers. But I'm ready to put a classic in the den! I will post before and after pics of the slim when I get it all cleaned up!
to TSD "BoxAlarm-81" Sounds like you have the beginnings of a nice shave den.. The Gillette "Slim" is wonderful adjustable, I think you'll enjoy shaving with it as well as simply owning it.. Can't wait to see the before and after pics...
to the Den. Glad to have you aboard. 1967 was a very good year for the Slim. You're off to a great start.
Here's a pic of the slim after some hot water and dish soap. I have not polished it yet though. The before pics did not turn out very good. I think for 9 dollars and free shipping on the bay, it wasn't a bad buy.
Heck YEAH it was! Dude, you made OUT! I've noticed a little bit of cooling on Slims lately, but $30.00 still is a decent price for a usable Slim. $9 knocked it right out of the ballpark. Good on yer!
Thanks guys. I work mid nights and happen to find it recently posted. I don't think the guy knew what it was.
