Saturday morning:
Vitos Red SIS
Semogue 610 boar
A new to me Gillette 3 pin razor
Med Prep (1)
Kramperts Finest Bay Rum
I received this razor yesterday from a friend. All that he required was that it go to someone who would take care of it. OK, so it's got most of the plating missing, the original handle is useless, but while it's a plain Jane now, it'll certainly pretty up with a wash and some makeup. I used it this morning, and it's aggressive for sure, so the love affair is on. It's by far the most aggressive fixed head Gillette I've ever used. It's easily on a par with the Slim set to 9 or the Muhle R41.
I'll definitely get it replated. BTW, as slim as the head is I decided it needed a handle every bit as slim, so I had a slim gold Tech handle and put that on it. It's like a miniature version of the handle that was on it.
Now, do I get it replated in gold or in nickle? If nickle, of course I'd look for a nickled handle. I can a lot worse than the Tech handle.
BTW, I think it's a #102-A, made between '21-'29, but not positive.
Thanks Marc!
