Gillette???

[willy]

Hey guys have please have a look at the razor in the case i am not sure what it is please help? all i see is made in England and the Gillette logo on it.
i bought it for a steal $15.00 for both of them , the TTO needs some serious cleaning and i also notice the 1 butterfly does not open all the way what could that be?

Thanks

Willy

Is this Razor made from brass?

It's a British #58 from the mid 50's. The lazy door could be attributed to a bent safety bar.

Here's one from Achim's site.

As stated, a beautiful #58. Nicely done.

Do you mean that the door doesn't open all the way alone, or even giving it a little help with you hand?
