It is, to me. First shave this morning with it, there is a very big difference between this razor and my TTO Gillette's.
It's hard for me to discribe but I can tell you it shaves great.
For something that was made when I was 3 years old this razor is in better shape than I am.

Hi all, last nights Vintage Gillette SOTD.
1957 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed. Vintage Wizamet Polsilver Blade. Honorable mention to Uncle Jon’s Soaps for his Sandalwood Shave Soap. It was a fantastic two pass DFS.
peace

next shave .. ​

 

Looks great!

 

thank you sir, how did you rate your first oc tto shave?

 

I really enjoyed it. First was the Senator. As I really like the Gillette old types I wasn’t sure how it would perform next to them. I thought it would be quite a difference. However, I feel like that old type oc is a more aggressive, closer shave I can still get there with the tto oc. I really like them. And they are very pleasing to use. I have only used my 34’ crat a few times and my 36’ British crat once. Against the Senator I think all three shave differently, but all three are a pleasure to use.

 

very cool, the old types were made for different blades.. my oldest favorites are the news..will acquire a brit oc tto at some point but no rush..

 

Thanks Gary. I love that blue brush you have in your SOTD post. Looks like a synthetic knot. Great color. I like the color coordination as well. Great photo man.

 

thank you very much sir..

Beautiful!

What were your thoughts?

 

first drive, not bad ,took my time, but smooth and efficient so far..

 

It’s a beautiful set sir.

 

thank you, happy to finally own one..and not a crap one from the bay, all i saw were beat up and pricy...at some point in the future i would like a british oc aristocrat or popular in silver/ nickel/rhodium. that may be one of the last i purchase.then i have one of each type of gillette. i don't have a president, diplomat,toggle,or black super adjustable but don't have a real interest in them ..now a 49 executive maybe.. but $$$ for a nice set and that's what i would want..
