    That is really cool. I should send you some of those Gilette Super Stainless that are from Argentina, and you will magically become a fluent Spanish speaker post shave!

    I know it's just a Knack... But talk about being super stoked to come across it. Even if it was not birth year and quarter, the red handle... Wowsers! It would be even more awesome if I could find a Knack case for it as well as Mexico Gillette blades from the period. I thought about swapping it with my T-1 Knack that has a case, but I looked on the bottom of the case and it says Made in USA so I need to find a Knack case that says Hecho en Mexico - which is most likely just as rare as the red handle Knack itself.

    My Rotbart Mond-Extra vest pocket razor arrived ahead of schedule today. It's looking pretty good after a quick cleanup but could still use a little more cleaning on the lower plate. It has a nice logo in the upper case lid which was not shown in the sellers pictures which I really hope to preserve, but I will definitely be relining the lower section.

    Razor in as purchased condition...

    After a quick clean up to the head, leaving handle as is...

    Head on original handle & trying out on a couple Razorock handles for fun...:)

    Looks like a nice win! Always nice to find a surprise such as the logo still intact. A fine shaver with any handle.

    Hello everyone. I’m looking for some answers. I bought this because of what they did to it. Can you explain why. And yes. I’ll try it. Maybe only once. [​IMG]

    By the way. Anyone got a correct baseplate they want to sell?

    No idea why it was altered like that but somehow it is strangely neat looking. Perhaps it's a vampire Gillette or it has tooth decay. :)

    If I had to take a guess, it looks like the owner wanted more exposed blade and bleed feel and aggressiveness, but left a couple of the teeth as a little guard protection?

    My guess as well. I’m gonna take it slow on the first use.
