Very interesting video Dave, and a beautiful example of the pre-Gillette 7 O'Clock - undoubtedly very difficult to find in such good condition.  FWIW this video made me stop and think a bit about the many ways in which grandpa's life was so different from our fast-paced, $10/100 coated stainless existence.  Thanks for all the time and effort (and money!) that goes into these.

Thanks Mike, it was a different era for sure

I really appreciate the effort you and your team put into bringing these artifacts back into the Modern World! 3D doodads to make that razor be effective again is very cool!

Yes, I can imagine the gaffers and grips seem like overkill, but the production quality would suffer without them. Now the prop manger, that guy deserves a raise!
