I’m a deviant addict and need help. These arrived from the US. In immaculate condition. I had not accounted for taxes - VAT etc so that came as a surprise but v pleased with these for the collection. Or should I use them?!
Thanks for the advice. I tend to clean and then spray with alcohol. Hopefully that’s okUse 'em!
In all seriousness, the build and plating on these razors it tip top and your careful usage is unlikely to make much of a difference. We see poor examples when the razor has been (ab)used as an implement and neglected versus a careful owner who will clean and dry the razor after use.
Enjoy, either way.
That looks like a SlimGillette Fatboy 1961. Arrived today.View attachment 124248View attachment 124249View attachment 124250

I am going to have to resist!! To be fair I have managed to go 11 years after getting into the DE habit without looking for vintage razors. Was just looking the other day for the fun of it and decided to have a punt on an bid.Hope you love it. Mine’s great but it led to wanting other vintage Gillettes…
