I Give Up. What is This??

[jgkeegan]

I picked this up a few years ago at a tag sale somewhere. Over time, it slid it's way into my regular rotation.

All of a sudden, I began to wonder what it was.

All it says is Gillette and "Made in USA."

Thanks

I b'lieve that's a New Deluxe Norfolk (Tuckaway case, Tuckaway handle), per mr-razor.

One of my very favorite shavers - do you use it? It's great!

I do use it, and it is a wonderful shaver. It has its place within an erratic rotation of 6.

Thank you for this information.

Yowsa, nice.
And it's worth at the very least twice that of a similar condition New Improved Tuckaway.

Beautiful razor. Can I tag along the next time you go to a tag sale?

That's a great razor.

One detail that always gives away the difference between a Norfolk and a regular Tuckaway, besides the really flat bottom piece and no pins, is the Gillette logo stamp and the Made in USA/Made in Canada stamp. On Norfolks, the logo and "Made in" stamps are centered on the bottom head piece with the thread hole whereas on other Tuckaways, the logo and "Made in" stamps are at the bottom of the head piece below the thread hole.

Very nice razor. I shall have a Norfolk one of these days.
