On
offer are two white handle Gillette slim twist TTO safety razors
dating from the 1960s - 1970s. They measure about 11cms (4¼")
long. They come with one plastic Slim Twist razor case, but this is
broken. An interesting fact is that this particular model razor
featured in the Beatles film "A Hard Days Night" where it
pictured George Harrison using one. Please look carefully at the
pictures as they form part of the item description.
The
razors were made in England, and this is stamped on the underside of
the base plates, along with the Gillette logo. The butterfly doors
open and close smoothly, and the mechanisms would hold a blade firmly
in place. There are no blades supplied with the razors. As
far as I can tell everything on these is working fine, but I'm not an
expert on vintage razors. They are therefore being sold for parts,
restoration, or display purposes.
The
razors show some signs of wear and tear commensurate with age and
use. There is some surface wear, brown handle staining, and possibly
light corrosion - see pictures. I'm sure they would also benefit from
a good clean up, but I have left that job for the new owner.
As
is common with these white-handled models there is some visible
vertical hairline cracking running down the plastic ribbed handles.
The handles do still feel secure.
The
plastic razor case is broken as the pictures show. The catch has
snapped off, and the hinge loops have gone too. Hopefully someone
will still find a use for it.
Despite
any cosmetic faults these are a nice examples of a vintage safety
razors. They display well, and will make a good additions to any
collection.
