Although I am not nearly as excited about the Valet razor as I was with my first Vintage Razor — The Gillette Travel Tech — I still find it an interesting acquisition that I will hopefully be able to use with modern

single edge blades will work in the Valet, but it is still interesting to take a look at a piece of shaving history.
