    Default Need Gillette DE descriptons/history

    My knowledge of Gillette DE razors is limited to the SS and Adjustables that I used starting in the 60s. Now I see discussions and references to Rocket, Toggle, Milord, Aristocrat, Tech and more. This is information overload. Is there a good source for descriptions and history of Gillette razors, either a website or book[s]?



    Regards,
    Perry

    Your best bet for a book would be "The Complete Gillette Collector's Handbook" by author Phillip Krumholz. They are for sale on his website and on eBay -- I believe his Seller ID is Razorman2 (or something like that).

    If you're looking for pics and such, I'd suggest simply hanging your hat here for awhile. Tons of discussions go on about all the various models, and most people are happy to post pics to boot.

    As always, if you feel inclined, don't hesitate to ask questions. We're a helpful and cordial bunch of fellas (and gals)!
