Whoa! I didn't see this before.
What a coincidence.

We must be right. Winking

That is me, and honestly I personally do not see the value in somecof the ultra prices modern offering.
I use Tech, super speeds, and a Slim adjustable, they all give great shave, with a decent blade.
What you think?  Am I on target, or Just sippingVintage Cool Aid
I think of them as "Gillette got it right the first time".
Well, except maybe for the Old Style. I find them (and the repros) a bit harsh. Maybe it's something to do with the (thicker?) blades they had back them. The jury is still out on my 2 Goodwills
My faves (in my den) are the Slim, Fat-Handle Tech, and Long-Comb New. I think I got the last two at a flea market.
I particularly like the weight and balance of them.

Great minds think alike

I have never paid to Replete a Vintage, I use Magic Wadding to polish.

Good out come.
