Man that was fun!

Six weeks into wet shaving with a Merkur 180 and I decided that I wanted to give the Vintage Gillettes a try soon. Since Friday, I have scored a '53 Super Speed, '58 Flair Tip (from Garry's Samples), '64 Tech and a '66 Travel Tech. A little inexpensive fun and I look forward to trying them out. If they are not for me, I plan on passing them along to my brother-in-laws or friends that I have been actively trying to convert. One buddy just ordered a Merkur 33c.

great selection. You will enjoy cleaning them up, and really enjoy using them. I recently picked up a super adjustable and a super speed both with a date code of T-2, and didn't realized I did it until I got my adjustable in the mail and was recording the date code and year in my book.

Sacre Bleu! No Aristocrat!!!! lololoolol Nice selection and I'm glad you're enjoying the vintage Gillettes. Enjoy your shaves!

Ding, ding, ding, ding !!!! Add a '53 Gillette Red Tip to the list and a bottle of Hydrocide. No luck on the Single Ring, but not for lack of trying.

Aristocrat? Doesn't look like it is in my price range.......for now.
