I thought the H was the first to be able to take Twins but I very well could be wrong.

That is a beauty. I really like my red Baton handle. Although now I usually use it with a brass Gem 1912 mine also came on a Treet.

My g2 came with a twin blade in it as well. I'm sticking with what they were designed for myself. If I give the twin blades a another chance I'll use my Gillette.
That is a really nice Type D! You done good!

Thanks and yes, I will stick with a regular injector blade going forward too.
I don't know if I just bought a really cool and unique razor, or just did something plain dumb. This is the updated version of the ATT G1, so not as mild as the original. Some say it's still to mild and others seem to find it okay. I am just taken with the design of the thing. It takes a Gem blade so I figure why not try it. They aren't made anymore and there could be a reason for that! We'll find out after it gets here.

Cool catch, they catch my eye every time I see them but haven't bought one for the reasons you stated. Looking forward to your thoughts on it!

It is a beauty. Good luck with that. I hope it is just right for your liking.

I've always liked the look of the scalloped top cap on those.

He describes it as a crimson handle but I think it is more of a vermillion or mahogany color. It reminds me of the color of the old bakelite radios from back in the day. There is no visible seam on the handle so it could be bakelite. The round ferrule is indicative of 1950s production. Someone said that it was a blue handle that faded, but my blue handles both have seams. I've seen black tip Unmentionables faded to brown, but they are bakelite. I think it is going to remain a mystery. I'd love you hear your thoughts on this one, gentlemen!
