Hi all, first time posting.
I recently found a Gillette safety razor in an old grooming kit belonging to my grandad. He died in the 70's and I'm guessing it hasn't been looked at since then.
The condition looked great for it's age but I could tell from the items around it it was well used. I cleaned it up and changed the blade (I usually use a cut throat razor so have plenty). Gave it a go and I was sold instantly.
My question is:
Can anybody give me more information on it? Age, model etc.
Also, are the modern alternatives better or am I best sticking with this one?
Thanks
