1930s Gillette NEW Razor W Blade for sale in Auburn, New York

1930s Gillette NEW Razor W Blade For sale I have a 1930s Gillette NEW Safety Razor. The 'NEW' is in my opinion one of the very best 3 piece open comb razors Gillette ever made. All the Gillette 'NEW' razor's shaved extremely well, but the slightly larger machined head makes this model just that little bit nicer. This razor is in Good condition. It was cleaned and polished by hand to the high luster that you see in the pictures. The outside of the upper blade plate has had a hand polishing but still needs a bit more which I will leave up to the new owner. The weight of this razor is 57g. please be sure to see the pictures also the ones I posted on YouTube.The teeth are all present and straight. The handle has No cracks. This razor is a great piece of Gillette history; a Vintage 1930's Gillette 'NEW' long comb open safety razor with its original common bar handle. The top-cap screws and unscrews smoothly as it should into the handle. The blade-guard teeth are absolutely straight. There are NO cracks in the Standard Common Bar handle.This great collectible razor was repackaged by Gillette into quite a few different models. The whole Gillette practice of blatantly repackaging the same product was a reflection of the times. Maybe people back in the 30s didn't notice or didn't care about the whole naming / model thing. I know that Gillette was just out to sell blades, but by packaging the 'NEW' sets along with blades, he probably was able to pick up a few new converts to the Gillette razor each year.
