1907 Gillette OC

[pejay66]

Just finished a shave with a 1907 OC. I acquired it in a trade for a slant. I used my usual Proraso Green and placed a black 7'Oclock in the razor and started. The razor is very light after using Bulldogs on most of my razors. However, it was one on the best shaves I've had even though most are real good. It worked well on the jaw line and upper neck (perhaps the lighter weight and a light touch made the difference).

For any OC users I recommend this big time. Online prices range for re-plating for $75.00 to average quality of about $30.00. I am thinking of re-plating this one.

Sounds great. I'm waiting for my 1911 Gillette OC to come back from replating. I had it done in rhodium and can't wait to shave with it.

Old Types are great.
2 passes should be plenty for anyone

I have 4 OC old types. They are great.

Trailwalker,

Where did you get your replate done? Thx.

Got a 05' single ring a while back and have never tried it.
I think a strong review is encouragement enough for Sunday morning...
