There is currently an ebay sale for a no-base plate razor. I contacted the seller and we will see what happens.

The OLD type cap on the Tech handle? Saw that yesterday, the one in the middle would be a nice razor!
No, I missed that one. This is either a New style cap or a Tech cap and was just the razor and a brush and stand. The razor is so corroded it looks like jade. But it did have a blade mounted.
According to the seller, Gillette adjustable, with upside down baseplate.
Didn't know gillette made 3 piece adjustables
Seriously, how do they expect the shaves to be with the razor assembled like this?

I saw a 3 piece listed as Twist To Open. And technically it is.

A rarely seen cased version.
Latest NEW came not only with upside-down baseplate, but as a bonus, a rusty blade installed - which made for some gingerly handling.
Neat oval shape, but not real secure.
Bless the sellers, for they knoweth not what they vendeth.

Either way, as long as I know what their Gillettes are worth ... Most times they don't!

I have another confession to make. When I first read this, I thought it was another one of those kooky notions like removing the safety bar from a DE and shaving with it. But I guess this mod is a bit less effective, at least for shaving.

Wow. Very nice!
They are outdoing themselves, aren't they?
An embossed cap with square ends! 
On a non-Gillette OC bottom plate!!! That one actually won't fit together the right way, so they had no choice!- Thread starter

The travel version. Came right after a listing for a fat handle Toggle, which looked suspiciously like a 40's Super Speed.
