A one ounce baccy tin and some foam creates a decent travel case.

The biggest box in the world turned up with this new type. A quick go in the ultra sonic and I have a nice clean plate intact razor £20 delivered from France eBay. Cheers Andy @ajc347

Lovely razor, I see them on ebay occasionally, but the bidding always ends up too high for me. I'm intrigued by the fact it's a 40ies Gillette with round stabiliser pins, it's a bit of of a throwback! I personally think the ridge and groove system in News and the long oval pins and slots in English Techs are probably more stable. It looks cool though. [emoji2]

The pins fit the holes tight. Plenty stable

Finally to why I spent the money - two NIB Merkur MII's.
In colors I don't have - polished silver and gold.

This one is beautiful wow

Great to see that the razor arrived Al.

Let me know if you want a Gillette-branded case for it as I have a couple of spare ones which originally came with the round-pin NEW.

You're more than welcome to have one of them for free.

I've never seen one like either, It's in great condition also, I'm not sure if I should use the blades that came with it, Ive good things about them vintage Wilko blades

I'd keep the set intact. Put it on a shelf to admire and have your grandchildren pay for college with it

 

[sc0tt]

You wouldn't use the razor either?
It will be a long time before grandchildren go to college, my son is only two

 

[Wishbone]

You're a long time dead to be sat staring at these beauties for all your days .......... Use 'em and enjoy 'em, I say ......

I wouldn't because I have 3-4 Stickies already
