It looks very similar to a Velvet open comb I picked up in an antiques shop a while ago.

My favourite is my Feather AS-D2. Very smooth, very efficient, nice weight and size. It's a mild razor but suits my face which is all that matters.

They are the only ones King Gillette was actually there for.

Nope, we call it the OLD type, but at the time they were just the Gillette razor, they were the first razors made by Gillette.

These razor look very old and don't see how they could be anywhere as good as a modern day Razor, for example the charcoal good build and shave quality is incredible
