Antique razor ID help

WetShaving@sub.wetshaving.social · 6 小时前

I bought this old guy at the local antique shop. It only had superficial rusting that I cleaned up with lemon juice and baking soda. No obvious brand mark anywhere and I am not really all that knowledgable about antique safety razors. Anyone have any clues? I can never seem to get pics to embed right

Edit: Ok current theory based on the information you guys have helped provide: The head is from a gillette old type, and the handle is from a gillette new long comb. I am told the handles would break on occasion.

That eBay listing is almost identical. Could the base plate have been swapped out?

  I saw the number stamp. Yeah, it’s entirely possible the base plate has been swapped. It’d be a little weird. It’s not like they break. But it is possible. Enjoy!

    Yeah either way it was cheaper than buying a brand new razor and doesn’t consume more resources.
