Very interesting Gillete, Bob.
What's going on with the diamonds? Are they plugged?

Thanked: 3226No 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.

Could it be a Canadian version of this 1931 Goodwill?

Thanked: 3226Thanks, that sure do look like it don't it. Now I can go look up Gillette Goodwill razors.

I should have added that I just did a 3 pass test shave using a NOS British Wilkinson Sword blade in her. Talk about a combination that gives a very close but very smooth shave. At a glance I'd say it was an aggressive razor with lots of blade exposure and a decent blade gap. Treat it right though and man what a nice shave.
