SOLD!!!!

Hi Guys,

For your consideration is a near mint example of Gillette's unique Executive set. I believe this is the only vertically-oriented set they marketed and what a unique beauty it is.

I'll rate the razor as near mint. G-1 (1961). Fantastic, clear plating. Adjustment numeral paint is intact. Great mechanical operation. Its case has superficial scratches but is in excellent condition. Lid snaps in place as designed. Instruction sheet and correct blade pack included.

I don't want to let go of this one, but many of my collector razors are collecting dust. I hope one of you will consider her for your den.

$185 - First Class USPS for CONUS, international a bit more. Insurance extra.

Bill, I just short circuited my computer. Too much drool on the keyboard. (That sounds gross right?) But that's what you get when you put such a thing of beauty up for sale.

LOL! Thanks, Joe. This set was one of many I acquired when I was acting/buying like a true collector. Alas, I have found I'm a "pseudo-collector" of favorite periods and models that interest me.

And thanks for all other kind comments!

This beauty is heading to a good home and is SOLD!! Thanks B&B! :001_smile:wink2:

Thank, Ram! Although I've sold my fair share on that other auction site, I've loved keeping a lot of my razors off ebay and in the hands of our appreciative brothers. :wink2:

Is that just more for a collector's item or for actual use? I'd have that baby full of some MWF the same day.

Thanks for the kind words. If you really want them, send me an email and I'll respond with the files. :001_smile

I didn't use this particular one but once or twice, but I do use just about every one I collect. Generally, I say use them and enjoy!!
