Hello,
I have been so lucky to have a Gibbs Adjustable coming in the mail to me probably next week. I have tried to pretty much search all the different shaving forums for information about the Gibbs razors and I can’t wait to get a hold of it!
The example I have been able to buy comes in original shipping box, manual etc. It’s not “NOS” but pretty close. For that reason I have thought about maybe taking some minor “precautions” which include using aftermarket handles and a modern SS spring.
I have already ordered the correct SS springs from China after seeing a couple of posts about this cheap investment. Furthermore I have looked at all the pictures of aftermarket handles.
From what I can understand most people get a 3D printed one right? I have seen the extra fancy ones in horn or brass but they seemed to me made for personal use only and not an item you can buy?
At this point I have only found this business on Etsy:
Is it correct that at this point it's the only place to get aftermarket handles?
Hopefully there are some Gibbs enthusiasts out there
