    Does anyone know what kind of Gillette razor this is. It is gold and has the silo doors that open up and the handle is only 2 1/8" long. Any help would be appreciated. I can't find any information on this model. Thanks.

    First off, Welcome to The Shave Den! A great community of guys and gals that enjoy wet shaving, I hope you enjoy your stay!

    According to Achim's website, it is a Milady razor, circa 1941

    Thats funny, I guess I should expect that kind of humor from the mod. Especially, since I am new! LOL

    Nope, you and old and new alike should expect that kind of humor from just about everyone here. ;)

    Basically, any razor is worth what the buyer is willing to pay.

    Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Rubbish. Toss it in the trash. Preferably the one behind my house. Oh, and let me know so I know not to go out there... :happy102

    but before you toss it in the trash behind his house, wait until I move his trash to behind my house....

    Okay then. I just picked one of these up at a local antique shop.

    Do we know how many years these were produced?

    Was it just 1941?

    I will post pics later on in "The Haul".
