I bought this razor from ebay. I don't know what model it is, the seller described it as 'vintage 1960s, 70s'
It is marked Gillette and Made in England, but I can find no date mark.
As I like to use all my razors, I gave it a good clean with white vinegar and bicarb & loaded it up with a 7 o'clock.
What a pleasant surprise. It is neither too aggressive nor too mild, nicely balanced and the slightly rectangular profile of the handle sits nicely in the hand and stops the razor from slipping. Gillette may have gone all modern, but the quality is still there.
You seem to be able to pick these up for under a tenner which, to me, represents remarkable value.
I was wondering if anyone else has tried one?
