Need some info on USSR slim

[RGraphics]

I need some help on finding info on this USSR razor. Is it a slim clone? Was it made by Gillette but re-branded? Thanks.

Looks like a Slim, nice find! Is there anything under the head?

It really looks like a slim but the bottom of the adj. knob does not taper, the twist knob seems longer and theres the black cap that the letters kinda match the case. Im waiting for it to come in the mail.

I've seen some on the bay...

The other day I saw one with a blue plastic cap where this one is black.

It looked to me that they being shipped from FSU eastern Europe.

I was skiddish of the shipping time and comparative cost to a real Gillette.

Looks kewl. I am jealous...
