ID help, slim twist or knack?

[cmannen]

Gents,

Can you help me to ID this one which I scored yesterday. From what I have been reading it's a Gillette Slim Twist or a Knack.
What's the difference between the 2 of them? I ended up paying USD 12 for it, might be to much? but according to description never used and I tend to get to eager in the bidding...

nice score! It´s a Slim Twist. Knack is the US-version with a different handle and knob.

Thanks Obi Wan! Yes, I'm going to use it. What I'm buying is to be used, don't think I will enjoy is at much just looking at it.

According to me the right thing to do, sure there are other opinions.

I suspected that someone from here outbid me on that one!

Congrats! Thats a really nice looking set and a great shaver as well(I already have one).

I would have bid more if it hadn't been that I just bought another razor a few days ago. NOS packs like this one seem to command a lot more on eBay.

Lucky for me that your budget wasn't higher

Thanks mr-razor! The difference is obvious with help of your pics

There was a later Slim Twist that was even slimmer and sometimes labeled as the G 2000.

All 3 versions that I've seen use the same simple but elegant TTO mechanism.
