What razor is this ?

Looks like a mismatch - box looks like it once housed a Gillette Aristocrat Jr. Razor looks like a Tech.

It is a mismatch; as said the razor is a Tech, but the case is from a British Gillette #58 set. If the case has a silver crown on the top of the lid then it is from a rare 1953 #58 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation set which is certainly worth more than the Tech. Without the crown it is a basic #58 case which came in two forms, with and without a loop to hold the razor in place.

The #58 case looks in good condition, almost no staining on the inside. It's probably worth more than the late 50s Tech (thick brass top cap)
Mind you a coronation Aristocrat in decent condition went for £26 on the bay recently and techs can reach the same ball park, so who knows these days...
