One of the rarest Gillette razors (pic heavy)

Great collectors item:happy096

 

Welcome to TSD!

 

Thanks!

 

That is one cool looking razor. I've seen them rarely, have no hopes of ever stumbling into one in real life, but boy is it nice to see these pics!

Thanks for sharing!

 

Welcome to TSD!

 

That's a really cool idea for a travel razor!

I'd be interested to hear how it shaves; the handle seems like it might be a bit unwieldy.

 

Thank you! been lurking for a while... Excited to be here

 

I personally love how my New Improved Richwood set razor shaves. Great balance with that heavy handle and even heavier head. Wonder as well how this beauty shaves, or if the wide "handle" gets in the way at all. Regardless its one nice razor...

 

Very Cool! Thanks for the pics and congratulations.

 

After looking at the razor (outstanding by the way), will a DE blade fit? It looks as if the blades would be proprietary.

 

Thanks. It takes the old 3-hole DE blades as well as modern DE blades.

 

I saw it before you grabbed it, thought it very, VERY interesting. Well done.

Glad I was able to help make some room in your collection for it.

 

Thanks! And welcome to TSD!

 

Here are the ebay pics of mine, I will post some better pics once I clean it up

 

Excellent! Welcome to the Sterling Silver Pocket Traveler club!

 

Wow! Cool!

 

Ooops

Yeah, I'm an uber noob I guess.
When I saw the first pic, I thought the place where you open up the razor to find the spare blades compartment was actually a flip top for a Zippo-style lighter. lol

(I was thinking that it was a good thing they were made before the aerosol creams!)

 

Here are a few better pic of mine, it has a double stamped ser# that I think is 297337B over 242479A

 

Nice photos! Thanks for sharing them! Very odd and interesting, that double serial number stamp.

 

Here is a better shot of the ser#
