What does this mean for dating?

This Gillette Tech kit was manufactured at the company's British factory specifically for the French market (or French-speaking European countries). Such Bakelite cases with French import markings were actively produced in the late 1940s, immediately after the end of World War II, when free trade between Great Britain and France resumed.

Set Features

Box Material: The case is made of dark brown Bakelite (an early form of plastic), which was widely used in accessory production in the first half of the 20th century.

Logo: The classic Gillette diamond-shaped logo, characteristic of the brand's products from the 1930s, is clearly visible on the inside of the lid.

Package Contents: The box contains dedicated compartments: one for the razor itself with a textured metal handle and a separate dispenser with replaceable double-sided blades.
