    thank you.:)i was fortunate to score a partial set..baseplate,cap and a worn case.handle was missing.i i mixed it with a french 1950 open ended tech handle,which i suspect is rhodium plated also.rhodium plating is a bit less gray than nickel plating.i also added the blade bank and case from a new rfb set..i would never sell it so its a perfect set for me.

    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #458 Synthetic
    Gillette Goodwill Razor
    PolSilver DE Blade
    Cold Water Rinse
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Aqua Velva Musk

    The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #458 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Goodwill Razor razor and the PolSilver DE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
