I have this in gold, but have been hoping to find this in silver. I much prefer the looks of yours. Great score!

Thanks. As you know, it actually is chrome plating.

Ha. It’s all silver and gold to me. With that being said, that is some fine chrome you have there!

As a mattet of fact, it is all gold and silver to me, too. And I love them all as long as it is shiny and intact

Got it 2 weeks ago.
Mint Gillette New Deluxe Criterion without any typical crack on the handle.

The blade bank contains 5 yellow deluxe blades. I guess it has to have 10 to be a complete set instead of 5.

The yellow wrapped blades are the correct ones for the set.
Congrats!

Nothing to fancy but an extra Single Ring is always welcome. Serial number D574.80 wich makes it an razor from 1917. Not to shabby for an 102 year old piece. It does have an small crack in the barrel but it's still solidly attached.

I know. I meant that the number of yellow blades should be 10 instead of 5 I have

I've been on a roll Adam. Thankfully I'm single at the moment so I don't have to justify all these expensive razor purchases showing up at my door.

Great score. I'm a big fan of gold but prefer this razor in Chrome, it still shines as good as my Rhodium plated razors and it's a shame Gillette only used it on this one razor to my knowledge.

Thanks! I am also wonderling why Gillette stopped using chrome plating.

You are going to love your new WR2. Pairs great with a Feather blade. Great pick up.

Well done Rob!
What is the date code?
(My birth razor is a Y-1 if you're stumped at Christmas time.)
