DESCRIPTIONS AND CONDITIONS:
THE RAZOR: This razor is in Good-Vintage-Used Condition--Showing Wear and Plate Wear in Places--(Consistent to its Age). There are a couple of minor blemishes on the 5 * 7 side of the Blade Guard--(As Pictured). The Twist-To-Open (TTO) mechanism works precisely as it should, opening easily and closing the blade compartment silo doors tightly. The adjustment dial operates as designed with a “Distinctive Click” at each setting--moving the “Blade Riser” up/down as designed/manufactured. The Paint on the Numbers and RED Dot are Crisp. It is marked on the underside: “F-4”--”REG US--PAT OFF”--”The Gillette Logo”--”Made in USA.” On the inside of the blade compartment it is marked: “PAT. NO.”--”ON PKG”. (See Pictures)
I have taken pictures of this razor from all angles--LEAVING NOTHING TO THE IMAGINATION--So you can see for yourself exactly what you are buying. However, if you want more pictures or have questions, Please DO NOT HESITATE TO ASK.
THE CASE: When I acquired this razor, it did not have a Case, and I felt like it needed to have a proper case to be displayed--so, I created one. This is a beautifully designed Brown Leather-Topped--Dark Wood Case. It has a Leather Bound Top--with a Hand-Tooled Nautical Scene--and A Deep-Red Crushed Velvet/Velour Lining with Depressions to Safely keep the Razor and Blades in Place. I think this Case Displays the Razor Rather Nicely. (See Pictures)
THE WARRANTY CARD: Shows wear and creases from being handled; but, is intact with NO RIPS/TEARS. (See Pictures)
THE BLADE DISPENSER WITH INSTRUCTIONS: New--Unused 10-Blade “Gillette” Blue Blade, Razor Blade Dispenser--with instructions on how to properly load the blades into your razor. (See Pictures)
