"Look what I found"
A very cool score today while out doing a little antiquing. It’s been a while since I found a Made In England razor in the wild. A 1956 Gillette Tech No24 in very low mileage condition. Not only a beauty of a English razor but came in a unusual swirled Bakelite case that I never seen before. Had to do some research at the Gillette Bible (thank you @mr-razor ) to realize what I had found. The razor does weigh 63g but did not have no blades to confirm date.

Congratulations on your score!

Thank you Gentlemen for the kind words

Man I never see any cases in the wild that nice. It looks great, razor too.
Lovely razor. Congratulations on the acquisition. I just love the case.

Funny, that’s how I found it, by the case. I was looking on the bottom shelf’s in a display when I look up and saw the bottom of the Gillette thru the glass. “What do we have here” I said to myself as a yelped with joy inside realizing what it was
