Canadian Old Type with a NEW regent handle

[tonich]

So I have been meaning to post this for awhile but always forget. Our member Rod in Alberta found this razor and I would like your opinion on how common are these. Besides the nickel plated NEW Regent type of handle I notice head cap notches that are available on some of the NEW type heads. What do we know about it:

Thank you for your input!

Basically that's an OT Goodwill since it won't take 3 hole blades, so a handle from the NEW era doesn't surprise me at all.

I've never seen a Gillette Old Type head that looked like that one.

Edit: never mind; as Edgar mentioned it is a Goodwill head.

Better pics of the head can be seen here (this one with a Probak handle)

Thanks, Edgar! Those are the photos I have been looking for.

So I've got another Goodwill then. The only old type Goodwill I have. Cool. The handle is different than my Probak.

You do indeed, Rod!
This is a cool find and I had never seen this exact handle on Old Type Goodwill. I have it on my Canadian New Regent though, but in gold (wash).
