hello fello shavers, welcome to the vintage gillette sotd thread..a place where anything vintage gillette can shine, razors, ads, carts soaps,creams ,collectables..just curious?..if so please post..all gillettes welcome..just got a new one from the antique shop, show it off, reviews, anything goes.. and thank you ..
When I'm not hanging out over in the SE and Injector party, I'll come by here. I have a love for Vintage Gillette Razors, and when I think I have enough, I trade for something else that I want. Is this vintage enough? Date code reads B4, according to a comment on my shave video that makes it a 1956.
That's a nice shave setup if you do say so myself . Seriously, I want the Whiskey Woods for my next Clubman Alcohol A.S.
This week I have been shaving with my L3 Gillette Slim from 1966. It is 52 years old, so I guess it qualifies as a vintage Gillette. I picked it up at a yard sale on September 21, along with a dispenser of Gillette Super Blue Blades from 1977. It cleaned up really nice, and it has been an excellent shaver. My preferred setting for the Slim is 7. Today, I used my Jayaruh #18 silvertip badger brush and Williams Mug Shaving Soap. I finished off with Aquavelva Sensitive 5 in 1 ASB.
Sunday, I have my birth year razor ready to go for the Sunday shave. I was lucky to find it for a decent price. 1985 black beauty. Has the black plastic instead of the metal bottom cap. Not sure it that will qualify or not.
Today I used my Post War Ball End Tech, Klar Rasierseife and Speik afershave. My home made brush whipped up a nice lather and provided the cushion necessary for the Tech to produce a very nice smooth shave.
yes sir, all things gillette.. any gillette de is vintage in my book.. .no qualifications here ,just fun and show off your gillettes..maybe i am obsessed..
