I'll be absolutely cornfuzzled if it is. Dumboozled, no less. It looked to me more like a ball at the end.
I hate to pop your bubble, but Gillette razors have fourteen teeth per side. This one has thirteen, which means it isn't a Gillette. It might still clean up and be a nice shaver and you didn't overpay for two razors. Have fun.
Derek of WildWestBrushworks turned this 22mm handle for my APShave 22 Faux Horse knot. I think the combo will go quite well together. Also pledged with the Supply CO. for their Single Edge V2 and will be getting the Black 3 shave head set. Project was funded in less than 3 hours.
We're on vacation in OH, so, technically, this one is waiting for me to arrive: One of the guys at work who knows I'm into vintage razors said that he would keep an eye out for me when he goes to flea markets. Yesterday, I got a note from him that he had an early birthday present for me- a Clix razor with bakelite case and a pack of Beau Brummel blades. I don't know if it's a bakelite or metal baseplate model but I am psyched.
I just checked, and this isn't always true. I suspect it is with the OLD, but the NEW, for example, have thirteen teeth per side. Both the SC and LC I checked are 13 teeth. Anyway - I'm still going to wait until it's in my hands.
"How about a pair of pink sidewinders and a bright orange pair of pants?" "You could really be a Beau Brummel baby if you just give it half a chance."
It is hard to see how large that end knob is in the photo, but the thing about the 13 teeth got me looking. Also notice how the top ring is much smaller than the lower ring. On a Gillette I think they were closer in size. Look at number 9 on this thread . I wonder if it is one of those.

Anyway, it should show up in the next couple of days. It's coming from Alabama, and hit the road yesterday. If it's a clone DR, then I'll put it together with my clone SR and clone OLD-ish. I'm more interested in playing with the TTO.
I did a 5 day online survey (about five minutes each day) and was given a $50 gift card from a number stores, restaurants and online stores. I ended up picking Amazon and bought a Merkur 34c HD, and a DR Harris shave stick.
