He's also less moisturised than meI would never ordinarily descend to regional stereotypes - but you started it.I'd like to remind you - @Blademonkey is further south than you - and he doesn't behave like a goddamn girl bear.
Single Ring Standard Set with script writing which makes it an early one, '09 or earlier, thin cap.
Probably been in 100 years, then ...
Serial numbers on the "inner barrel" only,... yes the signed Gillette with no diamond,... I use the B&B chart that I pull up from mr razor.
If it's a good 'un with no cracks in the barrel, I'll likely get it stripped down and replated. Having said that, are they all brass underneath the plate? I do like raw brass.

Listed as a "1960s Vintage Razor" and priced VERY low, I just bought it. Seller was one of those Bygone Treasures kinda places. Unlikely to have got anywhere with them asking peculiar questions like can the read off the serial number from the inner barrel.
I'll know more when it arrives.
Exciting! We should run a sweepstake on which year it turns out to be ... 1905? 1906 1907 1908 1909. I'm hoping for the earliers, naturally. I think the 1905s had a sliding clasp on the case, although I'm a bit hazy about whether the British made go back that far.
I don't know anything about the cases or Brit production, there were guys at B&B who knew what came out of which factory and when.This is the only other picture ...
