Thanks! It took a LOT of patience. I'd been looking for months!Wow very nice! I don’t think I’ve seen one of these without plate loss. Great find
Thank you! I lucked out no doubt. This is my prized Gillette by far. It is as beautiful in plain sight as it is on camera.That’s a beauty! Case looks new as well. This razor is on my wanted list. Good job.
Today I could not resist a very simple purchase. I was in the Dollar Tree store looking for face masks and came across the cheapest DE I ever saw - the Assured Double-Edge Safety Razor. $1 + $0.06 tax for a razor and 5 blades. It doesn't look like much, but I could not resist the temptation to see how well such a cheap product could shave. Some time in the near future I will need to break it out with some Williams and go for the most no frills shave I could put together. I assume as long as I make sure the blade is aligned properly, it will provide decent results, but we shall see.
