Hello,

Can anyone tell me what this Gillette Safety Razor is? I brought it as a Tuckaway but I'm not sure and I've got knowledge gaps with these.

Thanks in advance.

It's a New Improved Tuckaway and judging by the pins of top cap and the geometry of the base plate, I think it's the newer version.

That right there is shaving heaven, made about a 100 years ago. It's also known by the name wetshaver233 used. It's a an excellent shaver, and it's exactly what @Iridian should be buying as his first vintage razor.

Enjoy your shaves!
