    It appears you have taken a photograph of a straight razor!

    I don't think I've seen a Gillette straight razor before; how does she shave?

    Oh, and what's on the tang?

    Im just guessing, but it looks like it says Gilbert on the tang, not that other unmentionable() name.

    I'm guessing you are right!

    I find it unlikely that Gillette ever made a straight razor, as the company was founded as a safety razor company, sort of as a replacement to straight razors.

    It probably says Wilbert.

    Default wrong make

    You men are right on the button. I misread the name, it is Wilbert. I thought I had corrected my error but it didn't work out. Sorry.
