no it's not.

1st; it has only once hole, but with usual razors have three of them to keep blade stable.

2nd: to keep blade stable between these two part, there are two parts at each side for which blade need to have two tiny hole at each side

better to see this picture (my poor english est not better with a glass of bourbon :s)

Looks like a Gibbs razor. Have you looked at vintage Gibbs blades?

yes the razor is gibbs mini or minch, not pretty sure, but i just checked other razors of gibbs they are same. gibbs has still blades to buy? i think it does not exist anymore :?

No they're long gone. I'm sure you can find vintage blades on eBay.

I found this picture online. It looks like the correct blade for that razor.

Found one blade on eBay France.

Thanks I'll see this one.

If you REALLY want to use it, or the blades you order aren't very good, keep one as a template. Use a small felt tip marker to trace that shape and file down notches into the blades. They're so thin that it should not take too much time.
