History: The Gillette Old Type was the original razor head produced by Gillette Safety Razor Co. It featues open comb design with two stabilizer pins that keep the blade straight. These heads are known for their smooth yet aggressive shaves. These were the same model as featured in the WWI Khaki sets. The Pocket Edition series was designed to be a "barbershop in your pocket" and was one of the primary reasons why Gillette transformed the way that men around the world shaved. It empowered men to shave themselves and leave the barbershops for the comfort and skill of their own home and hand.
