Dear fellow RADee's,
I just stumbled upon this razor and I'm quite intrigued by it; especially because it looks like an almost complete set in rather good condition. That would be my second Gillette Vintage OC (I've got a 1939 Gillette Popular on the way) and I am not sure if I should get this Old Type.
From what I could research on mr-razor these sets were made between 1906-1910.
What do you think? Will the shave differ from the Popular? If yes how much - or would it be a redundant buy? Should I give in to RAD (it would be my first 100+ years old razor)?
Just don't tell my wife that I've got yet another razor on my radar!
Best,
Historical
