Gillette Slim

[SA940]

I think I got myself a good fathers day present to myself. Got this for $30 dollars off Facebook. In excellent condition with an open pack of 7 o'clock blades. Bargain or ??? Sorry about the direction of the photos.

That was a real score and half and will with little effort come up clean & shine easy

I just gave it a quick clean, polish and lube. Such a huge difference in shave from my old trusty 1940’s Gillette Tech.

Yes. They aren’t the best pictures. I’m surprised that a used razor (1966) was in such good nic. There is an ultrasonic cleaner at work but I’m afraid it will take the paint off the numbers.

So the million dollar question was it a good buy or about normal? I’m not too fazed as I’m very happy with it.

 

[58RW]

ok. Still a good daily user looks great

 

[Nico]

A good buy.

 

[Bucephalus]

If you're happy with it mate, it was a good buy regardless of cost.

 

[SA940]

Brucephalus you're correct. And this picture says it all.

 

[Pbgoose]

Looks like a very good buy. There’s a lot worse going for twice as much on eBay these days.

 

[~Spyne~]

Yep, looks to be in very nice condition for the age. For $30 I'd be very happy with that.

 

[SA940]

I popped it in the ultrasonic cleaner at work and it now sparkles. Didn’t lose any of the paint from the dial either.

If needed, you can polish it Autosol and a soft cloth.

Obviously over paid.

Worth $1.50

I know and to think I had to buy my own Fathers Day gift. Not sure how my kids missed this ad. Slackers.

Yes I did that first. But the ultrasonic really made it shine. So much so its gone for adventure with a few guys at work who use DE.

Oh wait, it was 1.50 new.. it’s old AF now, it’s probably depreciated.

Yeah, lets not tell the missus that.
