Well, my dad knows I use a DE. He doesn't agree, he uses a Mach III or whatever but he went to Greece and brought me back my grandfather's razor.
It's a Gillette serial number C 8 8 5 3 (I think?) 8 0 which looks to be a 1915 manufacture model.
The threads are excellent, hell I could shave with this thing as soon as I cleaned it up.
Not bad for a 96 year old piece of equipment, hey?
I wonder if it was a WWI issue piece.
What is the best way to clean really old rust and crud off this razor? It hasn't been used in at least 23 years.
