One of the most beautiful razors that Gillette ever produced - the ABC Pocket Edition. Feminine and sleek, this razor provides you with not only style but a close clean shave. This razor model features the Old Type / open comb guard that made Gillette famous, with its aggressive shave. This entire set has been polished to a perfect mirror-finish and was plated in its original bright Nickel. This set shines brilliantly and will for years to come!

Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.

Truly a piece of history- add this fantastic razor to your collection or shave den today!

History: The Gillette Old Type was the original razor head produced by Gillette Safety Razor Co. It features open comb design with two stabilizer pins that keep the blade straight. These heads are known for their smooth yet aggressive shaves. These were the same model as featured in the WWI Khaki sets. The Pocket Edition series was designed to be a "barbershop in your pocket" and was one of the primary reasons why Gillette transformed the way that men around the world shaved. It empowered men to shave themselves and leave the barbershops for the comfort and skill of their own home and hand.
