New DE razor from King C Gillette

They're probably a tenner I supermarkets too.
Sadly, it didn't take off the way Gillette were hoping.

What become of the short handled ones that came in the brown classic plastic case?
I missed out on that one.

I heard of people who were buying two copies, one to use, the other for investment, hope that works out.

I have seen a few of these recreations in other areas, cannot think of any that have been a success.
 
seems to be the lowest price its ever been on amazon



@Paul L appreciate your post as i was going to get it but then im thinking i hardly use the de89s ive got, so part of me is like whats the point then as i thought maybe longer handle but then like you say its not very grippy
i know i posted this but im tempted to get it

think its just because of the name? think thats what sort of pushes people to get it
 
Yep. Heritage box, heritage handle ... modern head. Still, a nice piece for any Gillette collector.
do you know how much these were going for?

as i understand they were on amazon.com (USA) but currently unavailable at the moment,
any ideas where to source these from in uk/europe or just not available unless second hand?

i udnerstand the head is the same as king c gillette just different handle and a nice box instead of the cardboard box

No idea. £20 or so equivalent? Yep! Second hand now ... how about a Wanted post on forums?
 
Useless for me, tried with a new Nacet and was so mild I had to check whether the blade was even in there, was just smoothing hairs down and not even cutting! Not worth even £10 for me and I like mild razors!
