Welcome to the Den Grant, I'm glad you decided to join us. This is a GREAT support group for RAD (Razor Addiction Disorder), and I believe you'll find we are a much more understanding lot then SWMBO (She Whom Must Be Obeyed) when it comes to buying new/vintage razors. I hope you'll enjoy your stay with us.
Welcome to TSD! What you have there is a British No. 58 as seen below. Without the original blades, it's impossible to give an exact year made because the British Gillette razors didn't have date codes so one had to rely on the date codes on the actual razor blades. But since yours, in the blade bed, has a patent number instead of 'PATENT PENDING', it was made around 1955, 1956, 1957.
Yeah, Jody is like the Yoda of Razors! Welcome to 'da Den Grant. We'll do our very best to be an enabler for all of your possible ADs (acquisition disorders)!
