Picked this up locally today. Thought it was a bit unusual and have not found any info on it yet. The before photos.

Really - actually says, Made in Canada....very cool.
Very interesting Gillete, Bob.
What's going on with the diamonds? Are they plugged?
No the diamonds aren't plugged, they are open. The base plate has diamond shaped projections that fit into the top cap diamond shaped openings. There is also a bar between the threaded post and the diamond shaped openings on the top cap that fits the slotted opening of the base plate. I have never seen a Gillette DR that was like this never mind a Canadian one. Was kind of hoping someone might have some info on it.Quote:

Thanks, that sure do look like it don't it. Now I can go look up Gillette Goodwill razors.Quote:

Let us know what you find out.
Looks like you were spot on. There seems to be a few different versions of the Goodwill too. Mines is a beater but man what a shaver.Quote:
