This listing is for a vintage Gillette Tech double-edge safety razor marked with a C1 date code, accompanied by the original box and eight boxes of Gillette Thin blades. The razor is in near-perfect condition, and the blades are preserved in their original packaging, though they have been taped together for storage.

The Gillette Tech series was introduced in 1938 and produced continuously into the 1970s. It was one of Gillette’s most popular and accessible razor designs, known for its closed-comb head and smooth, forgiving shave — a classic choice for both beginners and experienced wet shavers.

The “C1” date code on Gillette blades often dates them to 1957, denoting era and authenticity of the blade packaging style. Vintage Gillette Thin blades are distinguished by their elegant typography and classic branding.
