Hi everyone
What can you tell me about this item?, it has been kept at home for many years.

Can you upload a photo?

Welcome to B&B!

Sounds like a 1966 razor, could be a gold Tech or maybe a 1960s Aristrocrat? Pictures would settle it.

I'm sure those more knowledgeable than me will come along, but to me that looks like a Gillette Slim Adjustable. Maybe an "Aristocrat" because it's gold? I don't know what years they did that.

If that were mine, and was my dad's (he died when I was 17), I'd either put it somewhere special or replate it and use it forever. It might also benefit from a serious clean and buff.

1966 Aristocrat. Same as the Slim, but gold plated. Nice razor

+1 special needed to clean it up as its gold plated

Nice razor and a great heirloom. Clean it up and shave away.
