Hi all,
After years of wetshaving with straights, hence my lack of DE knowledge but more importantly making peace with never going to own a heirloom item as all senior male family have long passed, no trace of shaving equipment except mom referencing electrics. Also we only have a single daughter so my hope of passing my shave stuff on was gone too, until yesterday! My aunt of 80 heard me talk about razors to my brother at a family gathering, she turned around walked to her room and produced this Gillette. It belonged to my grandmother of all people. My daughter can now use her graet grandmother’s Gillette to shave her legs and arms when she is older. I think that’s something special...
I know it’s from around the ‘30 and think its a NEW type flat bottom, but what is the correct model designation? Made in a England. I appreciate your knowledgeable response.
