I have the same razor but mines the bar handle

 

Is a 62 Lady Gillette vintage enough. I do not see folks using these razors much.

 

very cool sir...just never had the want for one of them..

 

Same it’s prolly real smooth though!!

 

I can understand. It's just a long handle super speed after all.

 

Exactly lol

Razor: Gillette 162 Goodwill 1931 Art Deco Deluxe Handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow
Brush: Star Ivory Handle Restore
Pre-Shave: Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle
Lather: ToOBS Platinum-Soap
Additional Care:
Dolce & Gabbana Desert Oud EDP

I’ll say this shave was all about the ToOBS Platinum. I wanted to see how it would do with a 16mm Finest Badger. Outstanding. This little knot stored enough good lather for even a 3rd pass, though all I need was a good single pass and a couple of touch-ups where my beard swirls on either side of my Adam’s Apple. But due to a visit to the local barber(yes, he uses hot lather and a straight for the hairline), I was able to extend the shave further back on my neck than normal.
Finding him was a good thing and a bad thing. He’s opening up a shop 0.4mi from my front door and my haircut budget will likely increase.
I guess I know where my extra vintage stuff might end up...

 

Nice looking Super Speed!
