Hello Gentlemen. This article was in the newspaper today. I managed to track it down online too. I thought you might like to see it. 
The 77-year-old razor
FRUGAL pensioner George Millar has been using the same razor every day for 77years - and insists it is still a cut above the rest.
New designs have come and gone, but none has lured George away from his trusty bronze Gillette.
And he is adamant that the slogan is right - it definitely is the best a man can get.
The 93-year-old bought the razor when he was 17, paying one and sixpence (7.5p) for it.
He even has the original copper box that he bought it in, back in 1929.
Widower George, a retired engineer, moved from his home town of Clydebank to Birmingham in 1938.
He said: "I think it goes to prove that they just don't make things like they used to. This was obviously built to last.
"My skin is as smooth as it was the day I bought it. I've never been tempted by these newfangled razors. They are disposable in every sense of the word and don't last five minutes.
"Its sturdiness must have rubbed off on me because I seem to be holding up pretty well - much like the razor.
"It will outlast me anyway and I'm sure it would keep shaving just as well for another 77 years."

.) I think that anyone who has experience with vintage Gillettes, GEM's and Ever Ready's will agree that these older razors will probably outlive all of us as well.
