Looking on E bay, for G Bar, came across gold finished Valet Auto Stropper,called
" Million Dollar", with only few minutes left on auction. Never having had a winning bid, went for it- and won.
It has arrived in Bakelite box,and seems to have had little use.Also, has instructions
and was made in Canada.Understand it takes Feather blades,so I doubt whether I will
actually use it.
Perhaps will go on display.as a talking point, as it is quite nice looking.

Use it, all good vintage razors should be used, thats what they were made for :icon_razz:

Yes I know. but have 1912 & Shovel Head to try, after a few partial shaves with a Natural Angle. Do not really want to get more Blades. Think an injector type is worth a try,at sometime in the future.

I have a Valet, and it uses de-spined Gem blades, might be worth a go.

According to Gurus, this one has raised fitting points, so is suited to a Feather Blade.

Yes, i think your right. I bought an injector off Ebay, got some blades from Connaughts and it gives a good shave, the razors are pretty cheap to buy as well.
