Geek,

Gottas are fine razors. They provide great shaves to the lucky owner.

That Thäter brush is the bomb. Best thing that's happened to my shaving routine in a long time.

I have one also, and I think they are under rated. It has been a solid place holder in my rotation for years and I haven't found a reason to give it up yet....Nor do I think I ever will. Cheers to the GOTTA's

And in tribute to the Gotta...I am leaning forward on this one..This will be tomorrow's shave:

Razor: Gotta
A/S: Vegatal (for that old time barber feel..Smells horrible though)
Creme: AOS Sandalwood

The Clark & Hall dates about 1800. It was in great shape for 200 years, until I dropped it, shortly after getting the delivery!
It was just re-scaled using the original washers, and the scales of another C&H whos blade was used up.
