    Friends,
    I have had this razor for a while and always referred to it as a 1940 Milord Tech, BUT nowhere can I find any reference to such a Gillette model. There is the 1940 Regent Tech. Is that actually what this is? Has anyone ever even heard of a Milord Tech? There is no serial number. On the handle is imprinted: "Patent No's. on Package. This is a Non-notched TTO, with a "Senator-Type" Maltese cross screw securing the lifter assembly.
    Thanks for weighing in.

    That's the same case I have too. No instructions, sadly and it's been revamped in 24K...
    when I got it there was no existing plating.
    This razor is an aggressive son of a gun.

    It is a beautiful razor that I enjoy seeing every time you post it in a SOTD!

    FYI, The regent tech has a different shoulder/neck design than the milord tech, it is not a case of the same razor being sold in different boxes.
