Vintage Gold "Chrome Type" Toggle at Above the Tie

[Above The Tie]

Previously undocumented Gold "Chrome Type" Toggle F-4 1960. My understanding is that this razor has not been seen before. Here are some photos to enjoy.

That's.....um...yeah. Beautiful but definitely for the uber rich disposable income type. Good luck

what does gold chrome type mean

That is SICK!

Lando, it's basically a razor that is pretty rare in nickle plating. As far as I've ever seen before they were made in nickle plating with that unique adjuster and a slightly shorter handle than other toggles.

I've never seen a "Chrome" toggle in gold. That looks like original gold too.

Chrome is a nickname, but you might see one ((ORIGINAL)) silver colored toggle for every 100 gold toggles. The difference is more than the finish. The mechanics are a little different.

There are a handful of rarer toggle Gillette adjustables. This one is a mind boggler for sure. I never knew they existed in this configuration with gold plating.
