I'm sure it's been asked many a time. What tech is this. It has an m on the baseplate. The Gillette on the top cap is engraved. Checked Mr razor but can't seem to find one identical

Later 1960s @1964ge0 ...1967 ish (finger in the air). The earlier part of the 1960s had a different Gillette stamp and/or leftover '50s heads with the etched cap on the spiral aluminium handle.

M = 1967 on the date codes

Isn't that a W 3 ?

Third quarter of '73.

Here is a W 4.

Is it feintly a 3? 1973 is T ... W 1976.

The ball-ended spiral handle on the W4 example rings true as that style was revived in the 1970s. I think @1964ge0's is a regular spiral handle.

Typo, it is a '76.

99% sure that's a W 3 , but whatever it is it's way too late for me to care, if the cap has beveled ends I walk away.
