    Saw this on Achim's website.

    The head is a bit different, but the case and handle are similar.

    I have seen this, but how Achim could date this?

    Nice-looking razor.
    Unfortunately Gillette didn't put any obvious date markings on their British-made razors which makes it tricky to work out dates accurately.

    You can check the blades for a date code.
