Any pics? How much was it mate and from where?Kicking off a fresh month ...
Ajmal Rooh al Misk (an attar) just arrived. Very classy!
eBay ... just a 1/4 tola with a sticker, so not much to look at.Any pics? How much was it mate and from where?
Well, a few additions.
Picked up a sealed tuck of blue blades to go with the main arrival.
NOS Gillette Fat Handle Tech.
It seems an absolute shame to ruin it's current condition and start to shave with it.

If it was me and I have quite a few (ex) NOS razors in the den, I would use it. I love the satisfaction that the tool is being used. If you want to sell it on, keep it as is, however, to be the 1st to use it from the factory as is, will put a massive smile on your face and the razor will begin its journey, probably the only one on that day on our planet to be used fresh. Using the NOS blades will add to the experience.
Just my twopence.
Let me know.I may have something else to put in it blade wise.

+1 to these @Duffers782 - it's yours to use and enjoy. What would you be saving it for else?Likewise, I'd use it @Duffers782 ... lovely catch! I hope you do and I hope you really enjoy it.
Got to say I agree , unless you bought it to hold and make profit on I would unwrap it and enjoy it.View attachment 76559

As I said in my SOTD post, this morning I had the most satisfying shave I can remember! Beat my first shave with the birth year slim easily!I love the satisfaction that the tool is being used.
The Blue Blades are uncoated , so won't compare in smoothness to modern blades , I have found with them shorter strokes helps to get a more comfortable shave as they are not as user friendly as modern coated blades. Enjoy the razor it looks fantastic.As I said in my SOTD post, this morning I had the most satisfying shave I can remember! Beat my first shave with the birth year slim easily!
The blue blade gave lots of audio feedback, but weren't the smoothest, although I have had worse (Derby's). I've also got some of the Gillette Thin (Red) to try, what blades would you recommend then?
Once I've done a few of the older ones I now have, I'll have to start on some of my current favourites and maybe the older ones in my slim, as it was designed to use the older blades too!
