Gillette Tech Set 24 brown case?

[SMMottershead]

Hello,

I just got this razor today. To me it looks like the handle has been swapped at some point or not 100% sure?
Does anyone know how many colours of the boxes they did?
Any information would be great

Achim, @mr-razor himself, may know. Beaming you up Achim.

I think it's legit. Does it say made in England on the baseplate? I don't think those cases were US cases...

First off, welcome to B&B!

Next is the question, what makes it a No24? Usually the 24 indicates the set, do you have the shipper?

There have been a couple different handles found on No24, yours isn't one I've seen.

Thank you. I had a feeling it might be but wasnt 100% sure.

Yes I sure the case is legit and marked on the base with "made in England".

No I don't have the shipper sadly. I assumed it was a 24 set because of the case when looking on Mr Razor site? Am I not correct in saying that?

Looking on Mr razor site it looks like that handle started to be used in 1961 with the embossed logo.

Thanks for the link and it looks like that must of done quite a few different colours then.

My question was in regards to the bottom of the baseplate, not the case...

nice late #24 set. It comes with different colors (brown is new for me) and goes many years.

ahhh sorry yes it is "made in England" on the baseplate too

So do you think the handle is wrong for this set? or is it correct?

I think it´s legit for a late (60s) set
