    Good to know. I'm looking forward to trying one out when it arrives. I'm also waiting for some Feather FHS-10 blades from Amazon.

    very cool.there are some model valets that require a mod but not the later ones i think.i would research the model you have with the pin layout in the blade holder to make sure..

    I'm depending on information frpm the author of the link I posted recently.. According ro him:
    " To the best of my knowledge modern Feather FHS-10 or FAS-10 blades will work in any model of AutoStrop or Valet AutoStrop razor."

    As a matter of interest, In the small Nebraska town where I went to college in the late '60s, there was a drug store that still had a new-0ld-stock Gillette Valet Auto/Stop razr on the shelf. But in those days I was more interested in making the rounds of the local barber shops and buying up their unwanted straight razors. :angry017:

    Nice, it's a great razor. I just sold my f4 toggle on Ebay last month...Hardly ever used it, but somehow I now regret giving it up.
