Six of my Vintage Gillette razors for sale. Good shape, see photos for condition details. All prices include shipping to CONUS addresses.

1) Top - 1941 Gillette Ranger Tech cased $65

Bottom - Left to right:
2) Gillette 1941 Ranger Tech, no case. $50 SOLD
3) Gillette Fat Boy G1 date code. $50
4) Gillette Super Adjustable 84 'Black Beauty'. $30
5) Gillette Slim Adjustable H2 date code. $25.
6) Gillette Tech Gold post-war fat handle. $25.


1) 1941 Gillette Ranger Tech with case. When I acquired this razor, it was in pretty good condition with no signs of soap scum, calcium deposits, staining or pitting. In fact, it was so clean and shiny looking it seemed to have little or no use in it's lifetime and maybe just stored in the case most of the time. As a result, the only two flaws I could notice were very tiny plating wear spots at each end of the blade guide (see photos) and a small brown discoloration area on handle knurling, possibly transferred from the brown case lining. Both of these flaws could have occurred from riding in the case for long periods of time. I don't notice any other plating loss.

The only cleaning I have done on this razor is to soak in hot water and dish soap and toothbrushing with Scrubbing Bubbles. No metal polish has been applied to the razor by me. With a little Flitz polishing here and there, this razor would look even better. If someone knows the right solution, they might even be able to remove the brown stain on handle knurling since I didn't try to get too aggressive with cleaning/scrubbing. The case is a little worn on the bottom as shown in photo.

I shaved with this razor twice and got good shaves, but I have decided at this time I need to sell it to fund other interests.
