Martin is onto something! The RT's had a slightly different blade tray than the later SS's and have a different feel to them. There were some transition SS's that had the RT blade tray and shave the same, at least for me. I really like my RT's and the short run of these historic shavers adds dimensi...

Perhaps the Rhodium #58's exist. Sadly, I have yet to find one. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2628/4156581083_7be4a90671_o.jpg I've seen many NOS President sets pictured around the web and none mentioned anything about Rhodium. Being so precious and all one would think Gillette would trumpet the fa...

The coronation edition of the #58 when complete has a tag on the razor that says “rhodium plated.” Perhaps only the coronation edition was rhodium plated, but from a production standpoint, that would seem needlessly costly. It may well be that the garden variety #58 is not, but as I look at my #58 ...

Seriously, with a deal like that why is that #58 still here? Amazing. I agree! After shaving with my #58 this morning, I have to say, any confirmed Gillette man should consider this heavy, rhodium -plated razor. --Glenn These were not plated in rhodium, but as a nickel plated razor it would have to...

Faisal, a question about the #58. I thought the Coronation edition had a special emblem of some kind on the case, but I don't see any marking other than the Gillette logo in the picture. Am I mistaken about this, or am I overlooking something? --Glenn This is correct. The razor is a #58 and NOT a C...
