Does anyone have any history on the name "7 o'clock" as applied to Gillette products, particularly the razors themselves?
I have a bit of a hazy memory, but I seem to think that 7 o'clock were a separate company who were bought out, (maybe in about the 60's?), by Gillette.
Of course the recent razors are for the Indian market and are either all plastic, or are a half metal plastic sort of "slim twist" copy, but was there a more solid razor under the 7 o'clock banner? Are there any "vintage" 7 o'clock razors out there?
