Looking for history of Kampfe Brothers
I am impressed with the knowledge of the members of SMF. Maybe someone out there can help me delve into the largely undocumented history of the Kampfe Brothers (Richard, Frederick and Otto) who patented the first device called a 'safety razor' in 1880. See my icon for an 1888 model. I have gathered ...

1906 Gillette
Your description is consistent with a rare 1906 Gillette, which would not have the Gillette diamond TM. Also a 1906 model would have a 'double ring,' that is, two rings on the handle above the knurled portion. Starting about 1907 the razor only had one ring.

A New Gillette gold-plated razor with a short fat handle. Tuckaway cases were styled after cigarette cases of the time (early-1920s). With original box and cloth pouch.

More History
Back in 1971 Gillette test-marketed the Techmatic Sure Touch Shaver, a band-cartridge razor with a vibrating mechanism and a rechargeable battery (like an electric toothbrush). A non-oscillating Techmatic was introduced in 1965. An electric oscillating-blade razor was patented in 1898.

The white/ivory blade dispenser is especially unusual (rare). This set appears to be the first Super-Speed razor sold with a blade dispenser, you cannot tell from the pic but there undoubtedly no notch in the bar. This razor was introduced in late 1947 or early 1948. The Improved Super-Speed has a n...

Tech razor vintage
The older (pre-1921) Gillette razors with a comb guard had a thin cap. In the New Improved Gillette (1920 patent) introduced in 1921, the guard had a channel under the blade edge position. It was advertised as having a "channeled guard" and "fulcrum shoulder." Gillette Tech razor...
