Another Gillette "New"

[Mark65]

Hi, After staying with my Gillette I acquired another off eBay , it came with a case and two blade holders. The razor has all of its gold wash intact but the case and holders were tarnished so I polished them back to brass, as my first razor was polished to brass by myself brass I have put that with the set till I have funds to replate them all and will use the gold wash razor to shave with. I don't think the case is the one that goes with the razor but maybe someone can tell me as there are no markings at all on it, there are some old blades with it both razors are us ones with patented 1920 on them. I've attached some images of before and after. Parts look better than the images as Im a crap photographer. Mark

Nice razor.

I don't know whether the case is a match or not. Sorry.

Hiya Mark,
Sometimes cases and razors don't match, but you've got a darned fine razor there, enjoy the shave! In case you're not familiar with this take a gander. http://mr-razor.com/ the #1 spot to begin the id process, imho.

Thanks,I visited that site a few times, I preferred this model over my EJ89 which I sold, the polished up version is put away till I replate it, that smoked chrome is nice, never really liked the gold finish, would prefer a slightly longer and thicker handle, the fat handled tech handle is a nice fit I tried one.
I just use my hand and stick of soap when I shave, lathers well enough without my brush and keeps it simple with a splash of witch hazel when done.
On the lookout for a fat handled tech, just the handle to use with this.

That looks like a Merkur or Hofffritz case that has the 2 blade cases.
