Enquiry on a Gillette Ball End Tech Safety Razor

G'day DFS,

I'm asking for enquiry on a Gillette Ball End Tech Safety Razor, and my question is the cap and base plate are both the same as the 1947-51 and the 1956 Gillette Ball End Tech Safety Razor, I mean is the head are both the same geometry, cure, blade exposure and gap.

Which one would you choose the 1947-51 or the 1956 Gillette Ball End Tech Safety Razor, because I'm going to buy one I've never own a Gillette Ball End Tech.

Cheers

Can you post a photo

I don't have a camera or an iPhone because I have a very old nokia phone without a camera....sorry but I found this picture that might help

Okay guys I went ahead from a very good friend I've known for 4 years from the Grand Lodge of England, I bought a US Gillette Ball End Tech 1946-50 in brass and it comes with a brand new nickel re-plating for £24 that's about $40 AUD.

This US Gillette Ball End Tech doesn't have a date and all I can see on the underside of the base plate showing a REG. U.S. PT. OFF. showing a Gillette diamond with a MADE IN U.S.A. stamp on it, and the condition of the razor looks fantastic like a brand new tech when I get back home to Australia I'll get some photo taken asap and when I get home I'll buy one more Gillette Ball End Tech later on.

Well I've got a couple and I can put any head you want on it
