That's a Gillette 7 o'clock edition head. I am not familiar with the handle but it's a NEW open comb type. Good shaver!

You need to get Cooncatbob to replate that head and buy one of this handles for it.

I don't think it's a turkey, but perhaps a mismatch. As was already stated, that is a 7 o'clock NEW style head, but I think the handle belongs to an off-the-wall brand called Big Ben, and should be made of aluminum.

Nonetheless, that is a cool looking razor and the British NEW heads are great shavers.

It could also be a Souplex handle. These are identical to the Big Ben but were marketed under the manufacturer's name.

Cool! Never saw that before!

Yup. Souplex Ltd. produced the Big Ben, as well as a few marketed under their own name, including the Souplex Minor and there better known tiny Nymph lady's razors.
