Thanks Dick! It is a great shaver. I completely agree with you. While I like shaves from my moderns, there's just something special about the vintage razors!Greetings
What a lovely old razor, from what I have read they are excellent shavers. The one thing that is certain (in my mind) is that many of these old razors have about them a certain 'style'; a little bit of swank if you like that most modern razors, as good as most of them are just do not seem to have. Just this mans opinion of course.
Regards
Dick.
Thank you Oomer!Nice looking razor you have there.

After yesterdays fine shave with the Merkur 45C I thought I would dig out my other super light razor, the Gillette Tech Ball End. Glad I did fantastic result, have to say though, if I had to choose between the 45C and the Tech I might just go with the 45C. I suspect that the 45C would not outlast the Tech, and this Tech cost less than a fiver off eBay so the Tech is better value. All of which is slightly irrelevant as I will keep both of them and will use both of them again.
This was my first try of the Med Prep blade and so far it seems the same as the Lab Blue blade that I was using before, sharp and smooth.
