Need help identifying a razor

[kenhcs]

First of all, you would say hi to the whole B&B community. I've been in the DE world for now about 5 months, and my technique increase day by day as I follow all the tips I read here.

At this time, I'm trying different style of head (fixed, opencomb, adjustable) and I've bought a very old opencomb razor thinking it's was a Gillette old type.

But when i got it yesterday, I've seen there's no Gillette logo on the head, only one mention "english made". Nevertheless, he exactly look the same as this one and had 2 smalls cracks in the handle so the top and the ball tail can be removed.

Can you help me ? I can only post some pics tonight when i get back from work.

Thanks a lot.

Welcome to B&B....
That is a Gillette Old Type, Give it a good cleaning and polishing then give it a go. It's a fine shaver. Enjoy it!!!

Thanks all, so it might be a very old razor as there's no Gillette logo on it I'm going to give him a good clean this weekend. Hope I can make something. I will post some pics after the clean.

If you want it to look like this one:

I can replate it for you, if you like - but use it for a while first and make sure you like it.

Hope you enjoy your new 'old' razor

Looks like it says "English Made" on the bottom. Any other identifying marks?

It looks beautiful. I have a US version of the same razor.

BTW, I LOVE your FZ avatar. Welcome to the site, and enjoy your shaves!

I love Mantics videos! Easily found on YouTube, they are the best instruction to wetshaving anywhere. Plus his production values are impressively high. And they're funny, too!
