I used mine today as well, it's a mint condition one with "pebble" finish. The blade:  a NOS Gillette Platinum injector blade.   Happy2

How does the Gillette Platinum compare with the "Chicks?"

It's highly subjective of course, but IMO the Gillette Platinum Plus injector blade was the best of the "Golden Age" ones and to me shaves as good as a Schick Proline B-20. That said however I think any real improvement over the modern Chinese 'Chick" by the Proline B-20 is so slight as to be inconsequential.

Thanks. I appreciate your insight.

A good shave.  No irritation, nicks, and close.
