    That looks like it, but no markings inside the case lid (seller's image)...

    very cool,nice set.england had thin handle techs until 1948 or so but they were hollow and light like the fat handle,and made from 2 pieces..i really like my french thin handle due to it's weight and its a true 1 piece like a ball end handle..they are quite rare,especially here..that could be an english set ,but mr. razor has little to no info on them..

    This was listed as being 52 grams, a bit heavier than the US fat handle Tech. Should be an excellent shaver ;)

    Earlier this morning I bought on Etsy this vintage NOS His Excellency solidified shave cream. The seller says it’s from the 1970’s, but I think it may be older than that. The decoration on the lid is according to the seller Bakelite. I bought this for $25 plus shipping. Can’t wait to see how this performs.

    While that hideous color scheme screams 1970 it looks like they were early on it.

    Ad is 1947.Not exactly the same set but suggests similar vintage.

    The razor finally started to move again. I can now say, I think I am done buying razors from outside the us. Because I am nowhere near patient enough to do this kind of wait again.
