Do you need a vintage razor for Vintage April? Are you still looking for The One? Do you need some RAD medicine?

Consider trying this "user grade" Otto Roth (a Gillette NEW Long Comb).

Experts are welcome to chime in with corrections or extra info.

The plating is worn, the threading has some miles on it (but works), and one corner tooth is slightly bent in a plane that does not affect the shave IMO. It is a completely functional razor. I have had it for a year and am simply not using it.

Also, a "new" razor needs blades for the month. Mix & Match 30 from the pile with a maximum of 10 from any brand. Also available are Personna Comfort Coated, 1ea Bic Astor & CP, Egyptian Bolzano, and a couple Rockwells.

Rules:
Restricted to all members in the Lower48.
Reselling (charity exemption) is grounds for Public Shaming.
Use it at least once in April and post something on the Vintage thread. Brief is fine.

So...
If you need a vintage razor to participate in April, say "Need Otto" to be entered twice.
If you're adding to a vintage collection, say "Want Otto" to be entered once.

You may enter on this thread or via private conversation.
I will try to catch questions, but will otherwise not respond due to other obligations.
Be patient and rest assured that you will be included.

Entry deadline is Noon Saturday 3/22, with stragglers accepted until the actual drawing.
The Winner will be announced on Saturday or Sunday so the razor can be in their hands by April. Good luck!
 
While I do have a couple of vintage gillettes and straights for vintage April I do not have or have never tried an open comb. So “want Otto”.

Very generous. Thanks for the opportunity. I’m looking forward to a time when I can say what I don’t use so I can “PIF”.
 
4 entries so far...
  • Vintage razor with 30 blades
  • Use once & post a picture or comment in Vintage April 2025
  • Lower 48 (or pay postage over $15)
I will do the drawing tomorrow if there is no additional interest by then, thanks.
