Today was the same old Gillette Platinum Plus blade from around 1970 plus or minus a year or so that was frankly unpleasant in the Gillette 1918 Old. In the RazoRock Old Type though it felt like the best blades made today, slicing not dicing and smooth as silk. Totally different experience. The end result was a PDG bordering on perfect shave that was just plain easy peezy and fun.
As much as I dislike the fact I have to admit the RazoRock Old Type is far nicer than my 1918 Gillette Old Style examples.
Today's brush is another nice old Rubberset no number but about the size of the later 200-2 boar. Like all my Rubberset brushes it is a lather maker par excellence. It doesn't seem to matter if they are boar or badger they just work well.
Tomorrow begins the mix and match series with a later made Gillette Old compared to an MMOC.

To be vintage it must be older than me!
The last razor I bought was the next to last razor I will ever buy!
