1. Gillette 'New' in Rhodium. From the 1930's this open comb razor is offered with an extra alternative solid-guard Gillette Tech head, offering you a choice of head for the shave. Produced from the 1930's 'New' refers to the way the blade was secured on the head by a bar rather than two 'barbers poles'. As you'd expect the Rhodium plating is beautiful. Priced at £155

2. Gillette 'New' in Rose Gold with Yellow Gold head. Originally in the 30's the Gillette 'New' was plated in a thin gold wash which wore away easily revealing the brass/copper handle.This classic Gillette safety razor has been plated in Rose Gold to give it a finish very close to the original, but more robust. The head is plated in Yellow Gold giving the razor a very distinctive look. Priced at £135
