I've recently been looking for budget razor to use for travel instead of taking my Merkur HD. After looking at Aliexpress for various razors, a few folks on Reddit suggested a vintage Gillette for the same money so I spent a bit of time looking through threads on here and then a bit of time on eBay last week. As a result of which, this just arrived in the post which I believe is a fat handled tech.
I thought the date stamp meant it was made in Canada in 1932, though I now believe that's the patent date. All I've done is give it a wipe over with IPA to sterilise it and basically it looks new. Probably lived in a drawer somewhere for many years. Looking forward to putting it to use later. Does anyone have an idea of how to better date it?
