Thread: Vintage Gillette safety razor

I was lucky enought to find a Gillette New Model short comb DE on my holidays. Any experts in the models of Gillette DEs feel free to correct what model it is on the good chance I am wrong. In any event, after using this DE quite a bit I would say anyone looking for a slightly aggressive DE capable of giving super shaves should consider these vintage Gillette DEs. Man they shave close with Astra SP blades. I lucked into a gold one for cheap otherwise a chrome/nickle one would be just as good. You have to be very conscious of the angle of the blade and use next to no weight on the blade but after using straights that should be no problem.
