Hi all!
After another trip to my local antique mall, I found this razor and purchased it for $14. I think that the head is an early 1930s (maybe 1930-1932) Gillette New, short comb, and that the handle is from a slightly later model from the 1930s. But I may be wrong! Let me know what you experts think!
Also, I tried to shave with it for the first time this morning, and I hadn't shaved in about a week. I used shave soap that I lathered up in a cup. However, a lot of soap and hairs got caught between the blade inside the razor, and the shaving experience quickly deteriorated, enough that I had to switch back to the 1950s Gillette Super Shaver to finish. What did I do wrong, and what can I do to fix it going forward?
Thanks all!
