Hello everyone!
I received a vintage razor from my better half as a Christmas gift, but can't figure out what razor it is. I'm a newly registered member, but having hung out here for the past year since I got rid of my five year old beard and going back to daily DE shaving and reading thousands of posts here, I figured some of you crazy people with lots of knowledge might be able to help me identify it.
I don't think the razor and the accessories are necessarily from the same brand, since the picture of the razor on the metal box is not the same as the razor itself. The razor fits inside perfectly though. It also says Germany on the box, but the little metal container for used blades inside is Gillette branded (although I don't know if Gillette might have had production on Germany as well back in the days...).
Anyway, I've given it a thorough cleaning with soap and alcohol, and am looking forward to try it out soon! Have aquired a lot of safety razors the last year, but none that is open comb. So was really glad that the wife found this and bought it!
Hope someone can help me solve this mystery, and from a new member to all of you: thanks for all the knowledge, laughs and good atmosphere that I've experienced on the forum before deciding to join in on the fun for real!
