Brazilian Gillette

Hi all,

Attached is a picture of a Brazilian made Gillette that belonged to my farther. (My brother has it now.)

Just out of curiosity, is it similar to an American (or otherwise) model?

Thanks,

The head is identical to the '67 M3 that I have. Mine has an aluminum version of the ball handle. Nice razor and excellent shavers.

Thanks for the reply! I thought M3 was short for Mach 3. Is M3 the actual name or just short for something. It's been a bit hard searching for info on it.

Thanks again,

m3 is the date code for 3rd quarter 1967 (year & quarter of manufacture)- http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/US_Gillette_Dating_Information.

Ah! Thanks! So, it is similar to Ball End Tech then, right?

Thanks again for the replies!

They're very similar -- OK, well basically identical to the late-model British Techs:

Whew.. I thought this thread may involve some kind of wax to the nether regions. lol...
