New Handle for Gillette Decollette NEW LC


I got this Gillette Milady Decollette NEW in 2013. It is made in England and is a NEW long comb. The short handle was designed for use by women. The head is a great shaver, but the handle is not for a man.


 I decided to make a wooden handle that the brass handle would insert into. Below is what I came up with.




I noticed that the teeth on the NEW were in need of an cleaning, so I got out the electric toothbrush and did a thorough cleaning. I fitted the newly polyurethaned handle, and it is ready for tomorrow shave.

Teeth all clean and ready for a shave.

Gillette Old Style (1920s)


Just received this Gillette Milady Decollette open comb razor I won on Ebay. The handle is a ball end handle and is in great condition. Many of these that you find today have cracks in one or both ends of the middle section. This one is crackless. It has one bent tooth as you can see in the photo above. This type razor dates from the 1920s. 





The pictures below are from the EBay auction.





I piffed this razor on August 21, 2014.
