Gorgeous! Just has "experience".I found this one recently looks to be from the 1930's, a little ugly but loaded with a polsilver I had a great shave this evening, a little more aggressive than a Gillette Tech.

My Father's old Gillette 7 0'clock has the same head but with a two part handle and a case. I think it was his razor when he was in the navy during the war and after. I actually use it as my travel razor when I go away. It is an aggressive razor but seems to work quite well with the modern 7 0'clock blades which I quite like in any of my razors.
I don't seem to be able to post pictures of it - not sure why.

I found this "Google Photos has no option for delivering a direct image-link."
I use https://postimages.org/ , just upload photos and share using the Hotlink for forums URL.

Imgur for me. Works well.
Here's my similar...and have decided to play with doing Nickel plating.
These will be my first candidates (just a matter of getting my bum into gear).
The Nickel ingots are on evilbay, and not too dear either.
I've been using the right hand one, so it has the cap and blade still sitting there (I just noticed that).
You can see the 7-O-Clock version has deeper cuts to make the teeth longer than the Gillette.
I also think the 7-O-Clock has had a better polishing job (?).
The wee teeth look slightly more 'softer' and rounded than the Gillette.
They both shave very well though.
