Gillette flat bottom English tech.

Can anyone tell me whereabouts in England these razors were made? I mainly use the FOCS but for the last week I’ve been getting very good one pass shaves with this previously neglected gem. Now I know why so many men used them daily for life.

101 Syon Lane, Brentford, Isleworth TW7 5LW (that's the modern address).

Information, and what it looked like when it was still operational:

It won’t ever replace my FOCS and your handle but it’s a cracking razor thats been in a draw for 10 + years. If I use a steep angle with it and a Permasharp blade the results are fantastic. I’ve got a Razorock ufo handle on the way and a 1950’s postwar head to pick up from my brother.

Thanks for the picture Cal.

I have two - one I use with a Bulldog handle and the other with the stock Fat Handle. The different handles give a significantly different feel to the shave, but the end result, with both, is much the same - superb. The Fat Handle one I had replated in rhodium, so it's a bit of a looker too.
