Hey everyone
I've been meaning to get around to posting this and have only now had the opportunity to do so.
Here is a recent thrift store find... The Gillette Executive F2 1960 with its original box and packaging.. minus the blue blade dispenser and operating manual.
Upon initial inspection it looks as if it was not used that much.. a couple small smudges on the doors but overall pretty much almost mint condition.
No damage to end caps or centre bar.
All clicks audible from 1 - 9 and even the last quarter turn to lock into place.
Overall the mechanism feels great but could benefit with a drop of mineral oil added to it.
The only problem I have found with this razor is that once the quarter turn is locked the doors don't exactly turn all the way in.. is this normal for a tto?
I am still in disbelief that the previous owner would part ways with this and just donate it.. rather than sell on the bay or elsewhere online.. unbelievable..
