1961 Gillette Slim Adjustable Safety Razor – G3 Date Code
A beautifully restored example from the very beginning of Gillette Slim Adjustable production.
This authentic 1961 Gillette Slim Adjustable, date code G3, was manufactured during the third quarter of 1961—the first production quarter of the Slim Adjustable. Its classic adjustable design allows the shaver to select from nine settings, ranging from mild to more efficient, making the Slim remarkably versatile.
This razor has been expertly refurbished at Razor Emporium in Phoenix, Arizona. It was meticulously disassembled, cleaned, stripped, and replated with three times the original thickness of the original plating, making it even better than factory new.
The classic twist-to-open butterfly mechanism makes blade changes quick and easy, while the numbered adjustment dial allows the shave to be tailored to personal preference.
