Gillette Old Type and NEW

If I had to be reduced to just two razors – yes, and I know most normal people only have the one – then I would use a Gillette Old Type and a NEW.

 

Here you can see the Old Type in the foreground, with the NEW in gold. (By the way, the red staining is the lacquer starting to lift off the goldwash. I’m thinking nail polish remover should fix that – but I’ll have to wait until the current Mrs. Wild is out before putting that one to the test; too much explaining to do!)

 

These are vintage razors, the Old Type dating from the 1920s and the NEW from the ‘30s. And they are good for many decades more use.

 

Pic taken with a Nikon Coolpix P300, which I’m starting to get to grips with. I sure can’t fault the image quality, considering it’s a point-and-shoot camera, and the shot lit only by diffused sunlight.

 

Get hold of me at Wild West Communications to ask about using my photography or my communications services.
