I imagine there are few reviews because there are few razors? My Bulldog is 94 years old and luckily has zero cracks and over 99% of it's silver plating. The silver really makes it different than other platings and makes it classy.
A good example is not cheap so not a razor to experiment with unless you get a deal on a user.
Quality is typical vintage Gillette. I believe these were triple plated in silver. Like mentioned, if you get one without cracks, you are lucky.
I docked it a few points for friendliness only because it is an aggressive razor and takes time to adjust to, but if you are willing to be patient then it will yield a great shave.
Grip is great and the twisted knurling is cool.
I love the old mechanism as you don't have to hold the head to change the blade. Too bad the tubes cracked after time.
Nice balance. Overall a sweet old, collectable Gillette that I am glad I picked up!
