Hi,
I have just received my first vintage razor. I bought it in an online auction, and my plan is to try and clean it and see how beautiful it can get.
I have been trying to find out which model it is - and I am quite sure we're talking about the Gillette British Standard Set. At least, it came with a manual similar to this one: http://mr-razor.com/Anleitungen/1910s British Standard Set.jpg
On the razor itself, it says "Made in USA". How does that add up? Is that normal, even though the manual says "Made in England" - or has the razor at some point been put in a wrong box? Please help me out - as I am a complete "Vintage Newbie"
