A great shave from the Gibbs/Rubie combo, the Barrister and Mann soap preformed well and has a great scent.
Untill the next time.......
Gibbs is one of the finest razor ever! I love mine!I agree, a most underrated razor, as for the handle.... that is just something I cobbled together untill I get a custom handle made for me by one of the members on this fourm, it does the job for now!
This one I bought without the plastic handle....I have three altogether now 15, 17 and this one with no numbering on the bottom, just " Gibbs" I made up this handle untill a better replacement can be made.What happend with Gibbs's handle?

As I know, if there is no numbering on the bottom, then must be No17.This one I bought without the plastic handle....I have three altogether now 15, 17 and this one with no numbering on the bottom, just " Gibbs" I made up this handle untill a better replacement can be made.
As for the settings I like this razor on five or six depending what blade I am using.

Thank you! I'm not sure of the date but it is from France. I suspect it's from the early 30's to early 40's, pre war. That would be my guess. It's a great razor, but is aggressive.Hi, I love the look of your razor, is it from the 1930s or 40s? It is very elegant ...very French ? I think this is the first of this type I have seen.

There was one on ebay last year, sold for €199...Do you see them for sale often? Where did you get your's from?
Wow, big money! Must be quite rare to command that kind of price.There was one on ebay last year, sold for €199...
Good thanks Paul...Wow, big money! Must be quite rare to command that kind of price.
How are you?
Very stylish indeed,Good thanks Paul.... The one that sold had a different handle, very ordinary. I think the handle makes the razor actually. It almost has an art decor look about it. Very stylish!
