Many of us collectors do occasionally go off the Gillette path now and then. I don't collect as much as I used to but have manged to accumulate several interesting razors and a few wonderful shavers. I'll start with one of my favorites - a Gerbault DE from France, which I believe was manufactured in the 1930's. Let's see your favorites!

Very interesting razor Bill. Does this take standard DE blades or does it take proprietary blades like some of the Gibbs razors?

Standard DE blades, Phil. Also note it has a full-width baseplate so the blade rests inboard of the tabs. I have a Gibbs and never got past modifying one blade to use it the first and last time.

I have a fairly decent supply of the Gibbs proprietary blades if you want to try them in your Gibbs razor. Be warned though...I find the proprietary blades to be rough.
