Fresh from the mailbox:
Weaponry Claymore Open Comb
and a cheap Badger Brush
Chrome head and said to be a stainless steel handle ... I bought it mainly for the handle.
Smooth shave is equivalent to my Favorite Old Type

1957 C1 Super Speed. It was described as "appears unused" and, while it has been used, this razor is pristine! I had been keeping an eye out for a razor from 57 since that's the year my dad was born.
Nice, how's the innards!Mail call!
Fantastic razor!
Cheers, very pleased with this lucky find!

"Look what I found"
A thrift store score. A Pomcomatic vibrating slant. Is it a razor? Is it a power tool? It’s both
i'm completely awe-struck!
I picked up a 1969 Gillette Super 84 last week, gave it a good cleaning, and decided to give it a go this week. Big mistake. I thought I was getting a cleaner-upper but boy was I wrong.
This isn't a great picture (it's from the auction) but I should have seen that there's uneven exposure going left to right before I bought it. It looks even worse in person and is present on both sides of the head. Unfortunately, I didn't notice it during the multi-day cleaning process. Nor did I notice it when I loaded the blade. I didn't even notice it after I finished my first pass.
It was really aggressive, regardless of setting, and I knew something was wrong right away. But, as I said, I finished a pass and then switched over to my RazorRock SLOC to finish the shave. By the time I switched the blade to the RR, blood was weeping from every area of my face; a few on both cheeks, my upper lip, my chin, my neck, I looked like a victim in some deranged horror movie.
I put the razor away in frustration and didn't bother to look at it again for a couple of days. I was considering giving it a second chance this weekend but decided to first inspect it closer. That's when I finally saw it. I got it cheap so I'm not overly concerned but now I got an itch to replace it. So I'm on the lookout for another Super 84 or maybe something new like a Game Changer .68.

very sad story, they are really good razors when in decent shape.
+1. Smoothest shaving Gillette adjustable, in my experience.
