Gillette Toggle

Hi All,
While at a yard sale yesterday found a Gillette Toggle in mint condition asking price $20.00. It was apparent he had no idea of its value.
Long story short  I felt uneasy and gave him $100.00 as i felt sorry and it looked like he could really use the money.
This morning i shaved with it and let me tell you for me was the best damn shave ever! I have been wet shaving for many years and and have a coarse dense beard and it plowed through my hair like butter. Even closer than the Fatboy.

Here was my setup:
Gillette toggle on # 9 setting   D1 1958 with the original case and unopened 20 pack of Blue blades.
Brush- Paladin Moe
Soap- Zingari Man Essentials
Blade - Personna 74
AS- Shulton Old spice Lime

When compared to the Fat Boy it was more aggressive on the 9 setting and had to lower it to 7 as you could really feel the blade on the skin.
Anyway just thought I share my experience with you and how you Gillette Toggles owners feel about your shaves with this incredible razor.
Thanks

An amazing find and price!  Photos please.

Lucky man !!

Wow great find!  Truly appreciate your gesture in offering $100 even though the asking was only $20.  I think you are a very fine person and I have not seen many to show this gesture!  Have great shaves!

Awesome. Thanks for sharing and enjoy.

there used to be a time when such finds where more often but it's rarely that nice old razors appear on flea markets and such anymore. Great find and kindness! May you experience a lot of fantastic shaves with it!

Truth told, would go back to give the guy true market value having shaved with it and found it to be as good as appearance....

Congratulations. A great razor at a great price.
