Here is your chance to own one of the most sought after and rarest of all Gillette razors. Indulge yourself with the highly prized Gillette "Red Dot" $1.95 Adjustable safety razor. Note the base plate is like a Gillette Toggle. These razors were well built and give wonderful shaves. The razor is adjustable so as to customize your shave. The setting range 1-9. One being the most mild shave and nine being the most aggressive. The size and weight of these razors provide great balance and makes shaving a pleasure.
This tool is made of brass plated with Nickel. This razor is in fantastic condition, see photos. The TTO knob works great and the doors open smoothly. I believe this razor was only made in 1958. Great care was taken in the cleaning and sanitation of this razor. A perfect razor for a perfect shave! Original nickel plating is in great condition. Comes with original 6 pack of Blue blades still sealed with their instructions. Even features a small piece of paper that denotes that the instructions are enclosed with blade dispenser - very hard to find! Everything opens smooth and closes tight. If you are a collector don't let this one get away. Another shiny razor from the stellar line of Gillette razors.
This razor appears to have never been used and comes from a private collection where it sat since 1960 in its original case. Truly un-used and mint!
