Beautiful razors Jim. I hope you aren't passing on any time soon. I've always enjoyed chatting with you on different forums.

awesome Gillette collection Jim. :cool: thank you for posting them here.:)

I took an inventory about five years ago. Here are some of the pictures of the Gillettes. If you are interested, the whole inventory is here: https://jrshaving.blogspot.com/2018/07/inventory-day.html Now, I am passing on razors before I pass on.

Today’s Vintage Gillette setup.🎯

That suck mate to hear that. Mine just got lost some how. Cheers.

I do think about that myself mate like - who purchased them and were. They are all a little piece of history in your hand. Cheers.

In 1958 my father gave me hie Gillette Super Speed razor, in 1994 my x wife took it with all the other stuff in the house, never got it back, sure do miss that razor. Sent from my SM-T387V using Tapatalk

The Blake handle super speed was the first razor I ever shaved with back in 1982. I wish i had that old razor now but it's long gone. Cheers

Great info Gary and a lovely example. These earlier models in my book were the benchmark for the later DE's in this line of razors. Cheers.

It definitely gets a lot of attention. Cheers.

..And there is the famous fatboy..Welcome to a new chapter Stuart. :cool:,I'll try to use more capital letters this time..:D

Gillette Fatboy / Gillette Stainless

British New RFB A nickname coined by collectors that describes the reinforced base plate. This was to accomodate a permanently fixed handle tube like a Single Ring Old Type razor. They also came in three piece like the one below it.

looks to be a 1938-9 model with that baseplate pat #.mine is 1939-40 ish with same patent # .but no markings on the handle.earlier ones had a 400621 pat # on the baseplate and mostly silver plated.Our razors are rhodium plated.

Great razor. I have all 3 variations of C, and they are all great razors. I think for me the C1 open comb is the favorite.

One of my favorite injectors, the Schick C3. When I first got it I thought it shaved like a brick and almost put it back up for sale. That would have been a mistake as it now gives me one of the most trouble-free and smoothest shaves in my den...

Fantastic. Keeping true to the original design. Although I would not look down on Stainless and Bronze. Or any other choice of quality materials really. But the contrast of the Bronze spring on the aluminum handle is definitely something special.

it will be 6061 aluminium, bronze and steel.

Are you from Michigan as well? Thanks. Freddy Payne made the brush. Which reminds me, I need to tell him about this wonderful site. Yes Tom told me about the Bunny colab. That awesome. I haven't heard yet what materials you will be using. But...

Hello and welcome Greg. :cool:

Hi Garry, that’s a lovely example mate. I have the US version. You’re lucky to have the Canadian version. I hear they’re quite sorted after.

thank you Paul. :) from what I understand,it's(1953) the only year Gillette Canada made a tech in gold.production of all Canadian razors stopped at the end of 1954.the U.S made gold techs from 1940 -53?..
