    Good day to all lovers of wet shaving! I need advice in determining the model, and the approximate year of release. I ask a question at the request of one lover of wet shaving from Russia, who purchased this specimen. If you tell me how to care for such a copy, it will be very cool. Thanks to all. This is the first topic I created. I accept all claims, it will be useful to me .
    Добрый день всем любителям влажного бритья! Нуждаюсь совета, в определении модели,и и приблизительного года выпуска . Вопрос задаю по просьбе одного любителя влажного бритья из России, который приобрёл данный экземпляр. Если вы подскажете как ухаживать за таким экземпляром, будет очень здорово. Всем спасибо. Это первая тема, созданная мной. Принимаю все претензии, это мне будет полезно.

    This is a Gillette Single Ring, produced from 1906-1922. It is silver plated,so polish it up with something that is safe for silver plating. Nice score, I’ve owned one, they shave very well.

    Well, you gave a good clue. I'll write a friend to look carefully.

    The comrade carefully examined the pen, no numbers.

    This machine was in a box from a German razor Rotbart

    Apparently a box from another razor. Was convenient for storage.

    It has a serial number and is from 1911. Find the right blade for yours and it will shave great!

    Is there a patent date towards the bottom of the outer handle tube?

    I can make out an A and a 1 on the barrel I think. That would put it at 1908. Used Razor Emporium's date code section.

    It has the thick cap and baseplate, so it's '21~'28 and has no serial number. :happy088: Also probably doesn't have the patent on the handle tube.

    Being from the '20's it may be nickel plated instead of silver.

    Very nice razor!!!

    I have a single ring, no serial numbers. I think Gillette discontinued serial numbers during the '30's for them.

    Edit: Boo Boo, meant '20's.

    They didn't make Single Rings in the '30's.

    You gave a good clue. I wrote to a friend that it is necessary to examine the handle of the machine well. And that you need to look for the letter A and the number 1.
