Just picked up this one, guessing around 1930-40. Used this morning so posted experience on SOTD.
Had to slightly modify a modern DE blade as locating pins in the plate have a diamond cross section. Original hole shape is shown on foto below.

PAL tech from the 50s
For under a tenner thought I'd give it a bash.
Want to see how it is compared to the Gillette. Feels very light and needs a decent polish. Can't find where I've put the peek, so may have to wait. Bit of discolouration on the handle and the top cap plating.
Let's see how it performs.

I particularly like these razors and think them well under-rated.
There is very little blade presentation or gap, so the shave will feel like it has a very narrow angle, although not, and super-mild ... but it is curiously effective. Rinse the razor frequently, probably more than you would normally.
I hope you enjoy it.
The etch will practially remove when rubbed with some Peek, but the shiny top cap will look lovely on the less shiny aluminium. I keep meaning to get around to blue-ing the aluminium on one of mine.
I was the lucky chap who secured Les' @LESLIE ASARE bargain Northshore Slim. It's a beauty and she looks great next to the standard Slim and Aristocrat Slim.

I didn't think it was possible to blue aluminium as the 'blue' is iron oxide?

Its a beauty !
3D SE razors my nephew had done for me last week.
I haven't bothered posting any of my acquisitions recently. If I had it would have vindicated me of ripping off the colour scheme of your slim.
Note to self ....................... post all new acquisitions IMMEDIATELY !

You're very likely right ... I'm no expert on such matters.

The black Nodachi finally arrived in chez Satanfriendly
Now I can have Tatara sexy at both sides of the country
And yes, @Blademonkey you are more than welcome to try the next time you visit
Perhaps more so being the Rocnel frightened you away the last time. You haven't returned yet since.
