Adam... exactly. Dating Canadian razors is hard...
ThisWith the Diamond and “Made In Canada,” but no serial number, you can begin with dating it after 1921. Pictures would be most helpful. Open comb, closed comb?
Until then, look through the images on Mr. Razor’s website.
Welcome back!This
Lol....thnxWelcome back!
Possibly a late 1907 or more likely a 1908 set???
Very nice set. I have the same razor (no case). There are no markings on mine expect for a serial number on the base plate.Hello all!
I was recently lucky enough to acquire a Canadian pocket edition (thin handle smooth ball end) old style with S/N# 570995 (No letters in S/N). The set included a razor case, but no blade case.
Not sure how to add it to the growing list of Canadian serial numbered razors on the Wiki:

Please see Pics, Thanks!

I have a solid knurled handle smooth ball end. I have seen this type on eBay as well. I’d assume the smooth solid handle or more rare than the knurled handle.Thx!
It's gotta be after 1910 right? probably not before ?
I'm guessing 1910-1920 from the logo style. Weren't Old types not serial numbered after 1921 (Introduction of New Type) if I understand correctly? althought we are talking about Canada eh?
Also, weren't the Canadian smooth (not knurled) ball end handles solid? IE: not made from a tube, and won't crack?
Hi, I have just acquired a Made in Canada Gillette razor. Serial Number is 874833. Pictures attached. Any info on an estimated year would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

Fascinating and crazy serial numbering by the Canadians here.
My Canadian Bulldog SN: 736297 with pat date and Bulldog on handle. It was sold as a 1906 bulldog which I knew was wrong...
Yep, rhodium revamp from razor emporium. They had it listed for $10 over what the normal revamp service costs and I snagged it. I'm surprised they listed it as a 1906 but they must not have noticed it was from Canada?Mine is C131123 and it doesn't have the Gillette logo stamp as well as the made in Canada on the back of the base plate, but it has the Bull-Dog as well as March and other markings on the handle. Is yours replated? It looks really nice. I was lucky enough to find mine without any bend teeth of handle cracks.

It shaves beautifully.
