Here's the proof of shave. I recorded my first shave with the Thorn this morning and then went to Asheville for my Mohs surgery. After returning home, I did the editing and loaded it to YouTube. It was a great shave with a very fine razor.

I received the Leaf Thorn today from @ewk in SC. He graciously has let me try it out. It is cleaned, loaded, and ready to go for tomorrow morning's shave. My wife said, "Oh, I like that color!"

The upper end sets are silver plated as mine is.The Feather blades fit peerfectly but don't laste long for some folks.Being I use them once in a while(I have 3) the blades last a bit..:)Cheers.
I have one of these @brit I was going to sell it on flea bay so glad I didn't I think it is silver plated.
It's a fairly descent shave as long as you can get the blade sharp enough.
What's you take on it?
Cheers.

For the most part yes.:cool:Gillette England never made Adjustable models( all U.S made.only packaging,name differences),and also made models like the Rocket 500 HD, in which doesn't have a U.S equivalent..even when Gillette France started making...
very cool score.:cool: i would say they are the similar quality,maybe better plating. I have a 1922 British Bostonian in near mint condition,but it looked the same as my U.S one quality wise.I think the "better quality than U.S" British Gillettes...
IMHO, I believe the finish quality on a Made in England, Vintage Gillette is “better” than the USA manufactured ones. The one there in a special lift up case is known as a Bostonian and a Ridgewood in a timber case. Gillette was well known for...

I've bought a British Gillette New Standard, 1928, in silver from eBay. It seems to be in pretty decent condition. What are the community views on the British New Standard? My British Old Type, Aristocrat, Rocket and Flare Tip seems to have a...
Well that's a relief
Well if you get serious about downsizing there are two or three razors in your collection I would be seriously interested in acquiring from you. Although I suspect they are ones you would want to hang onto till the last.
Friday's shave was excellent. I stacked the two halves of the Wizamet Super Iridium blade because one half by itself was a bit loose. It worked extremely well.
