Excellent! You deserve to do the Happy Happy Joy Joy dance!
F4 Toggle from the original owner. Looks nearly new and in original case. 40 bucks.
What did you pay?I don't know if I can rank this as my "greatest" find, but I did very well at an antiques fair two days ago. I've never before seen a Black Beauty "in the wild," but Saturday I bagged two of them. And a very, very nice Tech (J-1) as well. Two sellers were involved, and neither knew what he had.
The Black Beauty was the razor I used almost exclusively from the mid-1970s until the Sensor came out around 1990. It's my favorite of all the Gillette TTOs.
The short handle Black Beauty (T-1) is in outstanding user condition, with only a very few faint wear marks. The Tech and the long handle Black Beauty (P-1) look like they've only been used a couple of times each, if at all. None of them needed any more than a very light cleaning and an alcohol dip. Ready to roll...

Yes, $20 each. It was my first great buy!40 $?
Thanks! That is an older picture, I have since added about 50% more to my collection. The showcase can now only hold most of my pre 1970, Gillette items. I Am no longer sure I will have any other of my collections in tat room.I actually cant find the words to describe how I feel about seeing this...............
+1I have got to go to more flea markets & swap meets! Outstanding finds seen in this thread.
