Nowaday men’s have a choice of different methods for shaving unwanted hairs. According too many people the best sollution will be shaving by the safety razor. After reviewing the current offer, we can see that the number of available proposals are very impressive. These devices have...
These vintage ball-end handle Gillettes are my go-to razors.
On the left (in silver) is an Old Type from the 1920s, with (in the gold corner) a NEW from the 1930s. I cannot provide more accurate dates as these come from the era without date codes.
I am a complete convert to the Gillette open comb designs, and believe these vintage razors have not been bettered over the years.
The Old Type is the more aggressive shave, so requires a little more consideration and concentration; the NEW is a touch smoother.
I personally feel the ball-end handle has the perfect balance, which is more at the mid-point of the handle. Other handles from this era tend to put the weight to the head of the razor.
The red staining on the head of the NEW razor is the decaying lacquer Gillette sprayed over the gold wash. I’ll attack this with either nail polish remover or oven cleaner.
