Hello. I am interested in the question, is it possible to find out the year of production of the razor by the number? I have a Gillette 1905-1921.

That razor has mojo accumulated from a century of use. The wear on the teeth tells a tale. It's got history. Nice.
Nice single ring. Give it a polish, she'll still shine.
Nooooo! No polish on that one. Leave the mojo.
It comes back if you prefer it lol.Nooooo! No polish on that one. Leave the mojo.
Won't be the same plus takes a long time to get that rich natural patina, and that's where the history is.
Thanks for the photos, a fine specimen indeed.

I'll leave it as it is. Once that 100 + years of patina is gone, it's gone for another 100 years.
In addition, I have a 100-year-old razor in almost new condition.

Gillette Old Type box with Greek ornament
Hello, I bought a Gillette Old Type in excellent condition. I use this model all the time. I just decided to show it. I also want to know about his box. I have never met a similar one with a Greek ornament before. Purchased in England.

I think this one I posted 4 years ago is equally rare considering added provenance: The person Gillette sent the set to is documented on an overlay ribbon. G. E. Ames of the Portland Chamber of Commerce was a key player in the development of Portland as a major US export/import center in 1903.this one ?

Patent applied for, no serial #, 20 blades instead of 12, imperfect knurling. There is another one out there if you can find it @Windigo.
Respectfully disagree
Historically it was shiny off the line. People usually take care of their things... but some prefer the look of 50 years worth of neglect I guess, and that's ok too!

Looks a bit shinier to me... gave it a buff?

I just washed it under the tap. Dark colored razors will leave a residue after use.

Just put it in zipper bag together with a crushed hard boiled egg. It will develop a natural patina in hours.
