-Vintage-Gillette-Shave-

The shipping cost from Spain did make it a bit pricey..I feel a bit better about that one getting away, in retrospect..

 

Well the long weekend has come and gone and I hope those that celebrated Easter enjoyed the time with family as best they could.

Today’s razor is one of my earlier Aristocrats made in England and from a No. 66 set. Well made, beautiful and a wonderfully mild razor. Fresh Gillette Platinum blade for today’s shave.

Soap of the day Stirling Orange Chill with the matching AS. I enjoy the orange scent and the menthol kick. Not glacial but very nice.

Lovely three pass BBS shave and finished with a spritz of B&BW Citron to keep that citrus theme going. Stay safe!

awesome minora set and pic Mike..those handles were used canadian war tech sets as well..very cool..

 

Thanks Gary.. This razor with a Spoiler blade was fantastic..

 

i imagine so.much didn't change with gillette's razor operating angles..just the shapes and materials..the newer the cheaper unfortunately as is evident in there mid 60s onwards built razors.i will find a bakelite war razor /french set and try it.i do own a bakelite simplex which is very similar..

 

Nice, Very Nice!

 

thank you Steve..
