This is a really terrific shave! A vintage Gillette Executive - wins 1st prize! The razor blade is an old drug store blade, included with something I bought from eBay; I thought I'd shave with them and they are superb. The soap is the eponymous Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Great shave, Mark. I didn't know Superdrug sold their own blades. Clearly the Gillette razor is the star of the show and if I wasn't happy with my own humble collection I'd add the Executive Adjustable to my wish list.

Thanks David. I don't know if Superdrug still does, as I think these were old blades. You never know though. All the best.

Thank you, Brian. Where did you find this information! How interesting. 1896 - 1957, I wonder what date my brush is? The original sounds like a nice brush - I just looked on eBay and saw one! It is nice! Did your fore fathers make this brush?

I've been reading about this, since reading your comment. I personally find the generational naming convention quite confusing. I always thought it was based on fibre manufacturers bring out a new type of fibre but then how is Frank Shaving bringing out a G9 brush, when no-one else is? I wonder who decides what generation a brush belongs to.

Hey Mark! Great shave with some terrific vintage gear. I was about 5 years old when your razor was marketed and I was remembering how we watched Sputnik go overhead at night and were so worried that the Russians were ahead of us. I was thinking surely you were mistaken about Eisenhower broadcasting by satellite in '58 - but you have it exactly right. I didn't realize how close behind the Russians we were in getting our own satellite up. Funny how strongly that stuck in my memory seeing Sputnik go by at night in '57 and worrying about the Russians.
@FriendshipShaving
@FriendshipShaving 18 дней назад
Hi buddy. I've just been looking into that period of US history. After the red scare of McCarthyism and heading toward the Cuban missile crisis, just four years later, it was an incredibly volatile era. I'm sure it was very worrying for a lot of folks, so I'm not surprised Sputnik stuck in your mind, even at that young age. All these years later and the world is still worrying about the Russians!

Nice brush! Glad you are still using it. 😁👍🏼 The knot i put in it is a 21mm Silver Tip Badger. Also, it is 2 part epoxied into the handle. If you ever want to remove that knot, you have to be careful because there is also a couple American Nickle coins in the handle i did for height of the knot. I probably should've used plastic or something else, but that was the first brush I ever re-knotted and restored so I didn't know what I was doing.
@brianlarson3832
@brianlarson3832 22 дня назад
A pair of nickels in the handle lend a real nice heft to a refinished brush. I restored a brush for our son and encased a nickel dated the year the brush was restored and one with the his birthyear.

Hi! Yes, I certainly am and I still have it's brother too. It is a really lovely little brush and the splay on that knot makes it seem bigger than it actually is. It will probably be with me until the end! 😁 Thank you very much.

Bravo Mark; certainly a wonderful, first class experience...spectacular razor. Please allow me to begin by apologizing, i.e., I do see most of your videos or at least significant parts of each; however, I am often in somewhat of a rush and oftentimes fail to sign in order to make a comment, etc. I will work to do better going forward. I am pleased to see you looking well and suffice it to say, your smile at the end of the video speaks volumes...well done! By the way (BTW), our trip to the UK was terrific, filled with very friendly people and beautiful scenery. I am sorry that we could not get closer to Torquay; perhaps, on the next visit we will be able to shake hands and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea together. You are a good guy for sure. As always, with my compliments and kindest personal regards, Charles K. P.S. My best to your sister and mom.

Greetings Mark, and I pray you are well. This is a most enjoyable video for me. As you know, while I believe there are many very fine razors out there, that beautiful and do a marvelous job, but for me, the Gillette Adjustable Razor are my hands down favorites. These Razor with the Personna Blades, give me unsurpassed shaves. As I have mentioned to you before… I have a Gillette Fat Boy (1959) that was my grandfather’s, and a Gillette Slim (1966) razor that were my Father’s, and those will always be my favorite razors. I also have 3 other Gillette Slims, and 1960 (my birth year) my wife got me for my birthday three years ago, a completely revamped razor from Razor Emporium. For me, those are will always be my most precious razors because of their sentimental significance to me, but wow, the Gillette Executive is unsurpassed in beauty, taking the world’s best razor (in my opinion), and giving it a gold plating, creating a stunningly beautiful piece of mechanical art. I do hope to get one of these razor in the near future. In the meantime, I will enjoy watching you shave with your Gillette Executive razors, and I’ll enjoy a Cuppa while watching. Aho! 🫖☕️🇬🇧 All my best wishes Mark…

I don't have the adjustable version of the Aristocrat, but my nonadjustable model is a very smooth razor. I classify it as a "one and done" razor for those who only want a single traditional DE razor. But, of course, I fell down the rabbit hole of collecting a long time ago. I have the Fatboy and subsequent Adjustables to keep it company.😅

@FriendshipShaving 21 день назад
The non adjustable kind alway look very nice - I might have to have one! 😂 I suppose my British no.58 might count, but I think that one may be counted as a posh super speed.

Thank you, Graham. Mate, I was testing a brush today and took half a spoon of Afternoon at the Tailors; I just randomly added some water, to almost cover the bottom of the bowl and soften the soap. I started bowl lathering and my goodness - I had enough lather for five people! It was bonkers.😀

Hi Mark, great review! How would you compare the shave to the British-made Aristocrat non-adjustable razors from the same era?

Good question! I'm going to have to delay answering properly and have a side by side shave 👍 I haven't used my Brit Aristocrat for a long while; I have a tendency to say it is quite mild but I'd be guessing as to what number it compares to. Yep, a comparison shave it is! Coming soon.
