An unused British Gillette Rocket in gift box with a can of Gillette Foamy shave cream. Unfortunally there is some rust on the blade pack and the can - and the paperwork is missing - otherwice the set is in great shape.

I am catching up from acquisitions over the past few weeks. The first couple are restores done by Max over at SRP. The picture credits also go to him as well (his photography skills are much better than mine). The first is my Torrey, which is a near wedge rescaled with Bolivian Rosewood, and the second is a Simmons No. 421 Barberspet rescaled with Wenge Wood.

I just picked up the same Aqua Velva. It has a GREAT cooling sensation. Very good for those hot summer days.
 
Today the wife scored me a H-4 slim adjustable.It was all gunky with dried lather. After 10 minutes with the brasso and a toothbrush (not my good one) you cant tell its ever been used.The score about it was the price tag .25 cents and the lady tried to give her the quarter back.

Just tried mine for the first time this morning, it really is a great aftershave - I love the scent and the subtle cooling sensation.

Ooh! Tallow first English Fern! Nice!

Yeah it's nice. I just took it for another spin about 30 minutes ago...funny thing is I seem to get more weepers and alcohol sting after using EF with Tallow first. Oh well, guess I just need to make some adjustments and figure out what I'm doing wrong. :cool:
 
Great for shaving, and wonderful to admire. Luckily there were instructions included.... how else could I learn the intricacies of this old aristocrat? Smooth, shiny with that great rhodium, and so well-weighted. If they only made them like now like they used to!
