    Yes, I do. Great scent and very easy to get a good lather.

    Very neat. Unfortunately mine came attached to a very Fugly non gillette handle but I was drawn to the unusual double gillette logo on the baseplate.

    the aluminum handles can be found quite easily as they are used on brit and french techs of the era as well.but any ball end tech handle will work fine..
    here is one for cheap.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/vintage-...535459?hash=item56e162caa3:g:O3MAAOSwsXFfLDlU

    Thanks Gary! Still mulling this one over. Might try it with a ball tech handle I already have first..spent a bit more on my RAD than planned to the last couple days. :)
