Wow. May I ask what it cost you?
Very nice, actually outstanding!! I won't ask cost, but pray tell, what is the back story. How, where, when, from whom?

A very good friend of the family had it for years after it was presented to her husband who had worked for Gillette. After he had passed, she kept it in a china cabinet, still unused after all those years. As I'm sure many of you can imagine, it was a very humbling experience when I was visiting her with my wife last week, she opened up the glass cabinet door and handed it to me.
Congratulations. She must think very highly of you. You should be proud to have such a friend.
Very nice razor along with a very nice story! Congrats!
Super.... Fan~Friggin~Tastic ...luckyman!
You have the Holy Grail in your possession, it's all down hill from here!
your one lucky guy!
your one lucky guy!
Well, I guess the big question is....Are you going to use it?
Congrats. You are a very lucky guy.
That is stunning, great story and history
What a fantastic gift to pass along. You must be deserving and humbled by such generosity.
I second that question - are you going to use it?
Well now all that's left to do is find another toggle, any toggle as your user one and let that beauty just sit and look pretty.

The fact is, out of sheer respect, I am not going to use it. I've got quite a few other really nice razors to use, a NOS fat boy, the '49 and '50 executives, a gold executive fat boy, a gold toggle, English aristocrats, and quite a few others, all in mint nearly NOS condition, so there's no need to use this one.
Actually, I'm waiting for the arrival of a gorgeous 1800's Wade & Butcher straight razor, and a really pretty Otto Deutsch Hans I had professionally honed, so I don't think I'll be using any of the DE's for a while. Lol, like they say, shave like a real man!

Wow. That's gorgeous.
You should also go post that picture in the DE razor subforum. I think there might be a lot of guys there who would really love to see it who might not come into this section of the forum very often.
