Pure Vintage baby!

My vintage Gillette TTOs (also have a New and a couple of Techs floating around, but they don't see any use). I think the Slim is still my favourite shaver of the three, but the Fatboy and Red Tip have that "cool" factor.
 
I haven't picked up my slim in months... ugh...I'm a bad owner
 
mate I LOVE techs if you ever want to offload

I might have a dig around and see if I can find them this weekend. They're not in great shape plating wise though.

how good are the slim adjustables just wish they didn't clog so easily then they would be the perfect razor

I haven't really had that issue, however, my 'beard' is pretty sparse so that might be part of it. I'll get a mint or replated one one day for sure :)

my one I found was caked in soap scum but after a sonic clean n polish it "looks NOS" to quote the great Kahana himself

dosnt matter plating condition wise to me it's all about the shave :) I got a razor from @borked and it was a bit shabby plating wise but gave perfect shave and is now my regular shaver more then anyother

I don't even remember which razor that was, yet gotta love good user quality razors.
You actually tend to use them, rather than them end up as show queens, worried about damaging them.

yea agree 100% I only have one show pony razor which is my mint slim adjustable and I tend to keep it on display rather then use it
