This video popped up in my recommended page yesterday. I was quite surprised how they said that incorrect wrapping of a blade will damage it. How true is this? ...I have to admit I am certainly guilty of haphazardly unwrapping the wrappers...
Vintage Gillette Advert... proper blade usage
- Thread starter taiga
- Start date
I‘ve seen that one a couple of times. I’m no expert but I tend to believe it. An edge is quite fragile if you think about it. That’s the reason some blades have glue spot, to prevent it from bouncing around the paper cover.
That was a fun video to watch, thank you for sharing.
And shaving with a steep angle! Guard riding is the way!
These days, how often do you go to the store and buy a single blade and stick it into your pocket next to your lighter?
I laughed when I saw part of the video. I couldn't imagine a store selling single blades back then but maybe they did.
Blades back then where comparatively more expensive than they are now, being essentially the cartridge of their time (and proprietary with Gillette being the only manufacturer), so someone buying them one at a time sounds plausible, especially if they aren't financially well off.
Nope !
I thought they had pretty tight patent control, unless other people made blades that fit into Gillette razors but didn't infrige any current patents
Aw, those were the days...1963 Popular Science Used Car Engine Oil Disposal Method
Oh boy... I have to edit this. It is environmentally unsound to dispose used oil in a gravel pit. Just in case anyone has any ideas... don't do it, just because our grandfathers did it. They were not always smart...

Just recycle it right back to where it came from lol.
I didn't watch this video through yet, but there is another old Gillette ad with two guys camping and sharing the razor. I can't imagine doing that today.
