    As people have already mentioned, both those razors have Gillette 'Old-style' heads. The one on the left has the traditional ball-end Old handle.

    The one on the right has a handle style I haven't seen on a Gillette before. It's most likely that the handle is from another razor brand. Most of these razors (from whichever manufacturer) have the same pitch on the threads on the head-cap, so handles are interchangeable. Very frequently, you'll find razors with mismatched handles (especially as the 'Old-type' razors handles split pretty frequently on the barrel, and so replacement handles were used).

    EDIT: I see now that you're from Poland. If you picked the razor up from an European source, it's almost certain to be a replacement handle.

    There were many, many Gillette-like razors manufactured by various companies in Europe, and the handles would be interchangeable with Gillette heads.

    SECOND EDIT: I just saw your other post, with more pics. Since the barrel of the handle is fused to the comb, I'd say that the razor was a Gillette Single Ring (version of the old-type head). The ball-end on that handle doesn't match with any of the Gillette models I'm aware of, so perhaps it was a makeshift replacement.

    Can't say for sure, though.
