Pics of some "needful" things I ran across...
The first pics are a razor given to me by a guy that deer hunts on our property. Item was free. I need to get some Brasso and work on the case now... From what I have seen on the net it's a 1920 traveling kit. I'm missing the blades that came with it.
1920 Gillette Travel kit.
The 1960 (F-4) Gillette Fatboy (that I shaved with at setting 6, MARVELOUS!
a 1977 Gillette Adjustable 4th quarter. My son was born in November of 1977, so pretty much his age. I shaved with it tonight and used a Dollar General blade, costing $1.00 for package of 5, and on back, sticker says "Blades made in Israel".
Blades....
And, last but not least, the Schick adjustable. Now, only wish I had some blades....
Still feeling my face after that 2 pass shave with the 1977 razor and Israeli blade. Can't believe it!! Performed smooth, and clean and no razor burn or nicks. First pass on 6 and second pass on 7. Great shave!
I've also got about 3 Super Speed Gillettes I did not post pics of. They are also very nice razors. Kind of from "MY" era of growing up.
