Holy shamoley!
now that I've studied Achim's site to see what the heck you're talking about....
They're both 48+. Center bars both stright, no wings. I can now see what you were seeing in the pic. Think it might have been shave-crud.

The razors have arrived and the tech is an x1 British psycho. No key, but it,s still cool![]()
This arrived yesterday. I don't think it's a Single Ring. No numbers anywhere I can see.
Compared to the R4, it drags a lot. It's as thought I can't get the blade to a small enough angle. Is this where you'd use a shim?
I was swapping a Feather blade in between this and the R41. Only one shave so far.
Thanks, Mack
Mack, my guess is a copy of an Old Type from a Spanish-speaking country: no Gillette markings that I see, "nueves" on the blade case, and it is in the old three-hole style with some three-hole blades also visible. Stretching a little, it could be a mix of parts: the handle looks something like a UK NEW that I have, while the plate looks more like an Old Type. But the case and blades are very much in the early Gillette style, so probably pre-WWII and likely pre-1930.
No telling if it will benefit from a shim or not, but you could try it.
