Thread: Gillette Beauties In The House !

Hey Guys,

Let's take a break from all this Wade & Butcher lust & sexy aftershave to admire 2 real Gillette Beauties.

Cleaned up & now back on the line to serve.


Thank you for looking,,,,,

First is a 1971 Gillette "The Knack"







Next is a 1970 Lady Gillette Blue T1

Spoil sport. Nice pair though.

Bob

Thank you Bob,,,,, I've got an open comb coming in , very old in bad condition,,,, hope to have it back on the line next week.

Really nice work on those DEs John!
I like the Gillette slim HarryWally gave me. Still figuring the sweet dial setting as I found 5 too much with a feather blade.
Are those adjustable?

No, they are not adjustable. I have 3 adjustable razors, but the Lady Blue is an awesome shaver with all the brands I have put in it. I have another Lady Blue that stays in the rotation at all time.

What is the length of each of those boxes? Those handles look looooooong, does that help to get an ultra-light touch?

W&B lust.........

Nice work once again, ya got quite the collection going, post pic of that open comb in due time.

Both handles measure exactly 4" from the bottom of the head. Never really thought about the length of the handle in regard to touch,, mainly it's the weight of the razor that decides the pressure/touch.

never tried this razor but you peaked my interest.
this one is a 1965.
it appears that there was no change to the razors over that period as they look identical.

Hey Mike, i too was trying to figure out the sweet spot on the dial of my razor.
I am sure that you would be able to set at an aggressive setting with a feather as long as you are careful with your angle.
Perhaps you could try with a Astra or Derby first????
