This is my first vintage Gillette (so I don't know how much help I'll be) - and no wonder these are so coveted. I'm amazed at what it must've taken to produce such a great feeling, great shaving design. I use mine with Israeli Personnas and Tom's of Maine peppermint cream, and with one pass atg (for my head, and my face long ago, atg is all that gets anything done) my head is smooth as a cue ball:) I've also used it with the IPs and Tabac to great success. The tight functioning of this...

I got a pack of 5 of these as a free gift when I bought other blades on ebay. I'd never heard of them, or almost never, and didn't expect much. But I was pleasantly surprised - pretty damn good blades! They've used the variables in an interesting way: these blades are softer in their spring, so, even though they project almost as much as a Feather (yes, you read right), they aren't rough at all - they seem to tighten down "farther", and I think this reduces/eliminates any "chattering"...
