What's new

Just scored a perfect Gillette Slim Adjustable (1966) for $2

Got lost, saw an antique store that specialized in horse stuff (saddles, tack, bullets, lots of bullets, even more bullets), asked for directions, yes I was that lost, and after getting them asked if they had any double-edged razors. She had a small box full of dirty, complete with blades, razors. I saw the shiny adjustable, asked how much, and she said two bucks.

Took it home and soaked it in dish soap and warm water for an hour. Ran a toothbrush over it, and declared it perfectly clean. The workings are as smooth as silk. It was used. There was a bit of old soap here and there. But, whomever used it knew how to take care of it. It is pristine. It's sitting in a glass of disinfectant right now. Can't wait for tomorrow morning to roll around.

No, it is not for sale. :001_rolle

Good directions and a great razor! Not a bad day.
 
Awesome score those are what I live for but they come my way on a very rare basis. Post some pics when you can I would love to see the new razor.

I love the "NO IT'S NOT FOR SALE" line.
 
Nice find I just got a 1965 Slim in great condition it needed some hot water soaking but I love it! Congrats and enjoy.

Here's the picture. The finish is much better than the picture shows. This morning's shave left nothing to be desired.

I scored one once for under $3 as I recall. Still in the original package, too!



Of course, this was in I think 1974 or so...
