Gillette Raised Flat Bottom NEW - Round 2 - Electric Boogaloo

[FloppyJoe]

I found an RFB a while back and gave it a shot. It really didn't do all that well and was not the best shave I have had with a NEW. Upon closer inspection, there was some teeth and gap issues with this razor.

I recently found another one, cleaned it up and put it on an aftermarket replica ball-end handle. Man this is one smooth smoothy. I am a fan of the NEW shave and this sucker really impressed me. It is like my favorite flat-bottomed tech, but a tad more aggressive. Awesome shaver!

I know understand all of the good feedback on this razor.

I hear that, and agree! Here's a fun link on the RFB....it was started by a member who delighted in calling it the Shave of Kings....or something to that affect: Gillette Raised Flat Bottom Parade

I must think RFBs are awesome since they are about the only thing I use. Congrats on your find!

I have a few of them and have never tried one yet. I should rectify this to see what I am missing out on.

One of the best Gillette's, IMHO. A stellar razor, enjoy!
