Acquisitions July 2026

[dan86]

Glad to be sharing my latest acquisition. This is my first Gillette New. Having tried Single Rings and a New Improved in the last year, I have been curious about how these shave in comparison.

Waited for the right set to come along. Needless to say on appearance alone I am very impressed.

Looks great. I love shaving with mine. Enjoy!

I've not used the American version but I have the English one and it's an efficient beast, but with the right blade very smooth. One of my go to razors when I have a few days worth of growth.

Thank you @Sandpaper. It’s excellent.

I’m looking forward to trying it out with a few days’ growth. It was excellent today with 1 growth and a Super Blue blade on its 11th use: very smooth indeed!

Holy bloody English shinny Ghostbusters, better watch out for slimy, he’s bloody greenie and nasty if you ever get an American red tip.

Stainless steel handle and stand from Alpha (3rd one along) £66 quid delivered I thought was pretty good.

I don’t actually have a polished razor head to put it on but I’ll worry about that later. Any suggestions?

I was thinking a R41 would look menacing on this handle.

It's not the Parker adjustable injector but the price of this Supply Pro & accessories was too good to pass up

It carriesthe same angles on the head as the so-called BBS-0 (where did that ludicrous name come from?) also seen on the metal WIlkinson Sword Classic. Copied by Henson.

I've got the BBS-0 which I always forget to use, nice razor if my memory serves me right.

Is your one made in England, by I presume the Star factory right? Some of the Star Tech style razors go under the radar but they are excellent razors in the shave.
