**SuperChris** · 07-04-2011, 05:28 PM

here are some pics of the razor I got from my grandpaw, and some blades I didn't even know I was getting. I dont know the exact model but its a Gillette. Its adjustable with 9 settings. Let me know what y'all think.

slim adjustable and a great razor.....you could start and end your DE shaving life with that thing. rock solid construction, adjustable, smooth shave....

very nice acquisition. i have one i use regularly, but it was not handed down to me, so yours will have great meaning to you. do NOT sell it, even if it doesn't work out the 1st few shaves. mine took some technique before i could use it properly, but once i found the correct technique, i LOVE it.

Great Razor and some great Personna 74 Blades.

Very nice razor !! Even better it was in your family !!

**Dalejr** · 07-04-2011, 05:33 PM

The Gillette Spoiler blades make it even more special...

Nice razor, especially since it has family value. But savor that stash of Personna 74 blades, too.

**Blade Boy** · 07-04-2011, 05:36 PM

Wow that's nice of your grandpa to hook you up like that those Personna's should be pretty nice too!

Nice haul, thanks to your grandpaw

Coming from your Gramps, that whole set-up is priceless. The Slim is an excellent razor, but you should know that those blades are a real treasure trove. The P74 is the longest-lasting DE blade ever produced, the Spoilers are legendary for comfortable shaves, and the Super Blues ain't bad either. You've been gifted with years of irreplacable fantastic shaves. Congratulations! Make sure to convey your appreciation to the old boy!!

I'm jealous, wish my grandpa was alive to give me a razor!! Enjoy

**Sledgehammer39** · 07-04-2011, 06:03 PM

Awesome gift..

**Obi Wan** · 07-04-2011, 06:04 PM

Great gift, the Slim is a great razors and those blades are legendary!

Savour and enjoy!

**vitaman** · 07-04-2011, 08:25 PM

Very nice! Enjoy that wonderful razor. The Slim is one of my favorite DEs.

**Big Dog** · 07-04-2011, 08:49 PM

That was an awesome gift from your grand pappy.

Make sure you reciprocate some day soon.

**Grumpy_Bottom** · 07-05-2011, 04:12 AM

Fantastic! The history alone is priceless, the priceless blades, well, that's just a feather in the cap!

**_MementoMori_** · 07-05-2011, 05:13 AM

I'm sorry, is there a razor in those pics?

I can't see anything but a gold mine of Personna 74s.

Just for fun, go and see what those P74s sell for on ebay. I think you'll have a whole new appreciation for what you've got here.

Like the others have said, coming from your grandpa that is a priceless collection. If you look where the handle connects to the head by the Gillette diamond there should be a letter and a number across from it, that will tell you the year and quarter that razor was made.

**kingfisher** · 07-05-2011, 06:32 AM

the Slim is my favorite razor.

But, as others have said, while Slims are easy to come by, the Personna 74s are, for some, the "holy grail" of blades.
