I've been looking around for a Gillette Slim recently and purchased one from a store on Etsy trading out of the States, which I am currently waiting on arriving here in the UK. It was a fare price at £37 considering I've seen them selling over here for £50/£60 ish.
So whilst waiting for it to arrive over the last couple of days I stumbled across a guy selling a “Vintage Wilkinson Sword Razor Set†(pictured below) and he wanted £60.
I thought it worth taking a chance politely pointing out he didn't have a WS set, but that some one had stored an old Gillette Razor in a WS box. As this wasn't technically a set I offered to take it off his hands for £15 plus postage [emoji51] and he happily sold it me.
It arrived tonight and I've cleaned it up ready for use tomorrow morning! My first vintage Gillette, appears to be 1963 (I3) at an absolute steal, which I'm really happy with. Looking forward to using it and her she is...
Now just waiting on the other one arriving that is in its original case.
