Isn't that the wrong razor for that box?

Let's talk about single and double edged razors and the blades that they use.

That looks like a black tip Super Speed, not a Tech:

Another photo shows the doors open, so it is a one-piece razor.

I agree, Paul.

I have a couple of Techs in such original boxes, and they don't resemble that Super Speed.

I bet that if you did a survey of "wrong boxes for the razor", the majority of them would have the box or case be newer than the razor.
I picture something like a guy buying a new razor, and mothballing the old razor in the new case, because he doesn't know where the original box is.

This one might fit that scenario.
