| 10-04-2010 07:37 PM Just got an ever ready brush off the bay and waiting for GN finest knot to put in it. I'll be posting before and after pics as I just hit the handle with Flitz. This is the first time to use Flitz and its a great product, I'm surprised by the results. Gary |

| 10-07-2010 04:19 PM I was curious to see how a Lady Gillette would shave. Since this was the only [acronym]TTO,Twist-To-Open[/acronym] that Gillette offered to women but has a longer handle than any of my other TTO's, I thought I'd give it a try. Little did I realize that these are going for some funny money on e-Bay but I was finally able to score this one for a reasonable price (I saw at least one for US$45). I'll give it a go sometime in the next few weeks, after I clean it up. Pam has already told me that it shaves on the mild side so it will be interesting to see how it compares to my Gillette Tech and my STAR DE's, my two mildest. Neither is a TTO, though. Freddy |

If I like the way it shaves then I'll keep it. ![]() Freddy |
| 10-08-2010 03:28 PM It cleaned up very nicely, Freddy! It's very "Sixties..." A great piece of Americana from an incredible decade! Better a diamond with a flaw than a polished pebble.... Bill Brown |

| 10-10-2010 06:00 PM Enjoy the Trumpers (I am willing to bet someone from OZ will show up with an Idea about what to do with the Gillette.) Each day give Thanks, Ask for Forgiveness, and Help someone, You never know if this will be your last chance. |
| 10-10-2010 06:57 PM Personally I would keep the Gillette stuff in the car and give it to the next homeless person I saw. "Orange is the happiest color" ~ Frank Sinatra "Sometimes it's all in how you say something" ~ Brooke |

I don't know about the cart, but the gel worked well enough when I was in a rush.. DFS for a few pennies. BTW, your brush has proven to be the most used in my inventory.. |
