Hello chaps,
This is my first post on the forum. Surprised to find a community like this on the internet in 2015. Keep it up.
I took up wet shaving two weeks ago, got myself a Merkur33 and some blades and getting good saves and it keeps getting better. No need to post about that though.
My mother just handed me her fathers razor. Since he passed away in the 60ties we know next to nothing about this razor.
A vintage gillette, made in England, with a bakelite stand. The handle is in two pieces, so it's effectively a four piece razor
Could you guys help me date and name this razor and it's stand please?
I got as far as finding out it is probably a "Tech"
On the back it says "Gillette" and "Made in England" it was most likely purchased in Belgium. Anything else you might know about this razor and the stand would be interesting.
Since I am in to safety razors now and it is a family piece (saved from the bin, and the only thing I have from my grandfather) I have no interest in selling this, however out of interest how much could this be worth approximately?
thank you in advance!
and thanks everyone for compiling the huge amounts of information on shaving that is this forum.
I'm going to clean this razor and give it a try now
