Gillette Old Type



OK, I've always been interested in trying the "Old Type", the very first DE. This 'estate sale' example from 1904 included a nasty scabby Schick PP blade so the thing was in use as late as the 70's!

It looks way scarier than it shaves. It gives a great shave with no drama. Blade alignment is a bit fiddly, but nothing to be afraid of.
