1966 GILLETTE L-1 MINT ADJUSTABLE SAFETY RAZOR CASE BLADES
RICHARDS RAZORS; MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE!
The razor you are viewing is in MINT working condition. The doors open and close smoothly, as
well as tighten down evenly and securely. The 1-9 adjustments, which determine blade exposure and thus
the aggressiveness of your shave, work as they did when new. The case is also mint there are no
scratches or breakage and opens and closes as it should, included is a dispenser of Gillette baldes.
As to the cosmetics, I call this razor near mint because there is almost a complete absence of
flaws. The finish is like new and all the paint is in excellent vintage condition. This fine
razor kit is ready to add to your collection or to put into shaving service right away.
From the height of the counter culture era comes this fine 1966, Gillette Adjustable
Slim, double edged razor. It was taken through a four part restoration process, which included a
thorough cleaning and polishing, along with lubrication when and where needed.
In the end the unit was completely sanitized, made ready for more decades of the fantastic shaves
that only these vintage razors can deliver.
Many ladies and gentlemen have grown tired of multi-blade cartridge razor gimmicks and inflated
prices for replacements, and thus are returning to the Gillette heyday of the solid metal, U.S.
manufactured safety razors.
Replacement double edged blades are still mass produced under many brand names, and available from
several vendors on Ebay as well as Walmart, CVS, and dollar stores. The cost of traditional razor
blades is a very small fraction of the price of many popular cartridge replacements. Also, the
quality is often fantastic.
"L-1" is the date code, found on the outside bottom of the blade compartment, and confirms that
this razor was manufactured by Gillette during the first quarter of 1966.

Terms of Sale:
When I describe an object as 'VINTAGE' or 'ANTIQUE' they will have the typical wear and tear you
would expect with an older piece. Light scratches, scuffing & crazing and such like would be
expected as opposed to a NEW condition. If an item is in MINT condition I will say so. If an item
has any major issues - dents, deep marks, stains or heavy scratches etc. I will bring these to your
attention in my description. All sales final.
