Well my Super Speed C1 arrived back from Chris at Back Roads Gold and it looks amazing, really couldn't be happiest with the look and the way it shaves, also picked up another Fatboy, an E3, which is in immaculate condition and shaves like a dream ... I really am hooked on these vintage Gillette razors.

OH wow! Where did you find the fatboy in such a pristine condition?

Jaques Lecoultre, another vintage French frameback for my collection.

I really do enjoy shaving with these older than me razors!​

Picked up a Koraat 14 2.0 for a nice price; arrived from UK in 6 days! Vendor put a nice JNat edge on it and can't wait to give it a try.

Some more vintage razors came in today.
Looking forward to give them a good bath (especially the British red tip)

Well done, they will clean up really easy.

Would love a Red Tip,

Would love a Red Tip,

If that’s an English Red Tip, I’m with you I have my birth year (B1) Made in USA, will eventually get the English one

 

[thorpef1]

The red tip and the ball ends cleaned up really nice.
The aristocrat has a bit of pitting but seems to function well.

Yes it is a British red tip, Ive been keeping an eye out for one for a while so I'm looking forward to give it a spin over the weekend
