The Goodwill

Shims are placed under the blade you're using. Usually increases both gap and exposure. Some people, myself included, like to shim the Old Type razors (and others, such as the New Improved and even the NEWs) because we believe this way they perform as they were meant to perform back then.
Thanks for the history lesson.

Yup, they were almost twice as thick as modern blades. This isn't absolutely necessary anyway, they shave just fine using modern blades and without shimming.
Some guys are just obsessed with these things.

I've got a Goodwill inbound from the Bay. I've been wanting one with that Art Deco head for quite some time. Finally pulled the trigger.

Those Goodwill look really nice, I would like to get my hands on one of those too. A few weeks back I saw one, so nice and the plating was intact, however ... it was missing a tooth ...
Well as luck would have it, it arrived today. You can start drooling now!
Beautiful! Congrats, and enjoy it.
There's also a NEW Goodwill like that.

How is it that no one has posted the packaging that the Goodwills came in yet? The name isn't a nickname that we made up after the fact; it came straight from Gillette. The deal was that the razor came with the purchase of a pack of Gillette's NEW blades.
Great looking Goodwill KJ.
Thanks for posting, Porter!
I would gladly buy a few packs of blades right now ...

Excellent find!
Being Mr.NEW in surprised you don't have a Goodwill NEW yet as you seem to have every other NEW ever made. It's a great shaver BTW (but you already knew that ;-)
Not one of those with that Art Deco head style. But I do have an English Goodwill, and these aren't too easy to find either.
