Vintage Gillette

I picked up a Vintage Gillette Slim adjustable J4
It was a bit grubby, but a soak in warm water an a light polish has brought it up really well.
I paid $10 Aus.
I’m always on the lookout for Gillette’s. Never been attracted to new razors. Used it this morning very nice morning shave on setting 5.
 
I have to agree with you @Garry357, after purchasing a number of new razors and not being really satisfied with the shaves I wanted to investigate why the vintage Gillette's were still so popular.
I was very kindly sent a Flare Tip Rocket and an English Tech Ball End by @Nanook and they opened my eyes to what a great shave could be like.
I now have a Super Speed C1 and a Fatboy E3 added to the collection and I doubt I'll ever buy a new razor again.
