What's new

A gift from my grandfather

I was mentioning my affinity for razors to my grandpa, and he told me he thought he had an old strop out in his shop that I could have. We walked out there and he found the strop, and then right below it he found a Gillette countertop display case! It was in pretty rough looking condition, so I stripped it down and cleaned up the plastic, got a new piece of glass cut, and sanded the rust off the metal glass-holding rails. Just got it put back together tonight, and here it is, filled with my Gillettes! How neat is that?

It's Wonderful that you still have your grandfather around to be blessed with his presence.

Great Story!

Thank you for sharing.

Btw, NICE display case.
 
To think they used to use big metal display cases like that to sell your everyday razor!

Now they're hung up on cheap racks in nasty plastic that you just toss. I wish I were raised in the 50s :(
