    Default Found this today '58 Gillette Executive D-3

    My grandmother passed a year ago and today my mom was going through her things and found my grandfathers (who died more than 15 years ago) '58 Gillette Executive D-3. When I got it home I cleaned it up and I did my first shave with it less than 10 minutes ago. First pass I did was on setting 5 WTG and then second pass I did setting 2 WTG and third pass I did on setting 2 ATG and then did a touch up pass on setting 2. Best shave I've ever had and minimal irritation with the cheap butcher knives known dorco blades.

    She was pulling stuff out of boxes and I saw it on the shelf and I grabbed it and she said "take it, if you want it". I had no clue what it was until I searched it.

    There are some straight blades in there somewhere too and she said when she finds them, they're mine to add to my shaving collection
