George Ibberson Gillette ‘Old’ clone
Gillette Nacet
Proraso M&E after shave
Anothet outstanding performance from the wee T2; this time with the equally outstanding Martin de Candre.
Ibberson and Co. were (are still?) cutlers in Sheffield and I believe they, like others, used to supplement their income by the supply of facial cutlery too; during the inter-war years.
This clone of a Gillette ‘Old’ is a great shaver. The only difference is that the handle is cast in one piece; so there aren’t the characteristic cracks that can appear after the ball end and female thread were rammed into the tube of the ‘Olds’.
I’m lucky with my ‘Old’: I really have to look for the cracks in mine; others have trenches fit for growing tomatoes.
