    the g-4 slim adjustable
    while i prefer gillette's non adjustable razors this is a fine ,well balanced shaver.
    also known to be gillette's last all brass construction razor made in the u.s.
    after 1968 zamak,aluminum and plastic were the materials of choice.

    good day gents,
    starting the month off with my very first razor set purchase in 2017,the canadian rocket.
    this set came from a gillette worker in Montreal,as the seller stated,
    and is the early flat base plate version.
    these were sold as aristocrat jr's in england at the time.

    fabulous 2 passer in the usual manner,
    with paa lather and splash to cap it off.
    lovely dior savauge based scent

    awesome.:cool:

    the "rocket"

    have a great day everyone
