Looking to trade this beautiful Gillette #66. This is the aluminum Coronation set with proper case The razor weighs 38 grams. Comes with case and a handwritten receipt from 1953. The receipt is torn. The plating is in Excellent condition. No brassing on the head. The case has some stains that are visible in the pictures.

Now the bad stuff. The handle has a little blemish/plate loss on the inner handle where it goes into the outer handle. I tried to capture this in the pictures. If you need more, just ask. The TTO is also a little stiff. When I soak it, it loosens up to almost normal. After it sits for a few days, it stiffens. Normally I would soak in some Scrubbing Bubbles, but I do not dare as I do not know if it will affect the aluminum handle.

I mostly use straights and wanted this beauty for the occasional use. I recently acquired a Weber PH and get along with that a lot better.

For trades, I prefer hardware.

Straights
Strops
Brushes
Possibly other Webers

Very nice ! Have you tried mineral oil to lubricate the TTO mechanism ? Might be the charm for the stiff opening.

I haven't tried that. I may give that a try if I do not find a trade. 

Thanks you for the tip.
