    IMG_3738.jpeg I came across an open comb similar to the Gillette Old Type. The baseplate has two stamps. Made in England on the bottom right and G/N on the bottom left. Anyone know what model razor this is?

    I did a Google search because I was curious. I typed:

    "what vintage open comb razor made in england has G/N on the underside of the bottom head?"

    Not sure I trust Google's AI results but this is what they came up with:

    The vintage, open-comb safety razor made in England with "G/N" on the underside of the bottom head is the Gillette "New" (or "Flat Bottom New") razor.
    Here's a bit more about it:
    • "G/N" Mark:
      The "G/N" marking on the bottom head indicates that it's a Gillette "New" razor, specifically the "Gillette New" or "Gillette Flat Bottom New" model, produced in England.

    Romsitsa was telling you not to, since you're not sure, in case you might.:)
