was meant to do. This beautiful collectible razor
is a very effective closed guard shaver with great
knurlingon the handle. The razor feels great in the
hand. It has a mild head designand decent heft of
59g. The handle is about 3 inches long. This
presentation model of the Gillette flare tip razor
came in this classyand rare leather case, The
instruction brochure for this razor is alsoincluded,
something rarely seen with this set. The razor is in
MINT condition,the case a little less so due to a
few scuff marks as seen in the pictures.The case is
a real beauty as is the entire set. Also included is
a NOS dispenser of 10 Gillette Blue Blades still in
the Original box which hasnever been opened.1959 was
a great year for Gillette's classy designs in the US
and England.This is one of my favorites. Great
knurling for grip on the handle, andtwist to open
mechanism makes it very easy to load a blade. On the
inside ofthe blade compartment is stamped Brit. Pat.
694093. On the outside bottom of the blade
compartment there are the Roman numerals II. These
Roman numerals, (I, II or III) indicated the
aggressiveness of the razor with I being
thegentlest. This is a magnificent set that you will
probably never see again. Please be sure to look
closely at the pictures, they are true
representation of this great collectible.RICHARDS
