Nice to have a Gibbs back in the stable. Setting 6 is full throttle with decent blade feel and yet as smooth a shave as they come. Really enjoyed the shave and would stay with it awhile but too many razors have been added that I want to get to try. Nice problem to have. Have a Brass handle for the Gibbs from Clouds that is now in the states and should be here Monday, a Pearl Flexi here as well as the Auto Strop A2 and a Raised Flat Bottom inbound still. Have a stellar day everyone !!

Can one really have "Too many razor Dave? Asking for a friend.

I am unfamiliar with the Gibbs. It is an adjustable that you can swap handles on the head?

I'm the wrong person to ask that friend

An adjustable from French market mostly, from the 30's that has a hollow plastic handle making it a weak point and head heavy. The brass solves the problems.

They were actually in production for quite some time. The fairly common red plastic cased ones are to the early 50s, the clear plastic at least until 1956.

Thanks for the clarity. I said from the 30's as the patent was 34 and started production I believe in 35 onward

The applied for '34 patent was not really for the Gibbs as we know it, the applicable patent was applied for in mid '36 and approved in '37. I'm doubtful there was production before '37.

Here are the two:
