    late 50s brit made canadian market model.
    made from all brass/nickel plate.
    canada stopped producing razors in 54/5 and made blades only.
    england and the u.s exported razors in after that.
    brit/euro versions of this razor usually had the aluminum handle .

    Your G 4 Slim is a beauty! I have an N2 (but I prefer using my D4 Fatboy)...

    I also had a J2 - 1964 - that I gave to a friend. That was the year that Gillette changed the hinge tabs. This J2 had the older style ones although I've seen J1 Slims with the newer tabs.

    thank you.:):eatdrink047:.yours is a nice set as well.i scored an m-4 birthyear/quarter set a long time ago,mint and complete,but rarely used it.i sold it and my f2 fatboy set for good coin.i found the g-4 in a local antique shop for cheap,found the case/instuctions later.i plan to keep this set just to own one.i honestly prefer my 30's/40's gillettes.;)

    Ah, 1967. I’m a bit older than you. My birthyear/quarter would be a V-4. Not many of those around. :(

    I’ve never really gotten into the 30’s/40’s models. Some day I should.

    Like the dice, I actually have a pair of red dice from the trump Taj Mahal in my red Gillette rocket case!!! Haha what are the odds? Also included I have a 1991 birth year JFK half dollar. Supposed to be used to scoop soap and put it into a bowl but I face lather and I just think it looks cool and the collection. . Also in there I have one of those metal Gillette box safety razor cases.

    Here’s a picture!!!
