    Hey everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself. I've been wet shaving for over two years, active on some of the Facebook groups. Have lurked around here but never signed up. Assuming it is many of the same people. Anyway, starting to collect more hardware these days and g t a kick out of trying to find vintage gillettes in antique shops. Here are to of my latest. First is a Gillette 1905 double ring. Found at a flea market. The pics posted are before cleaning. Second is a 1906 single ring I saw in a store back home that I debated on for a while. My dad went back and scooped it up for me for $4. Cleaned up pretty good. Enjoy the pics. Thanks for having me!

    Wow! You sure know how to introduce yourself! A flea market Double Ring! Did you know what you had right away? Or did you figure it out after researching it? Either way, Great Score! And welcome to The Shave Den!

    The guy selling it actually said he wanted to research a price first and didn't know what it was. I went back to work to get my fiancé who had just finished. At that time I posted in on Facebook, got some info and went back after the owners "research" was done.

    I just wish the single ring was as valuable
