Fat handle tech that appears to be in great condition. Jumped on it as a impulse buy from the bay. Finish and form seems in very good shape, but there's always the unseen with these blurry online pics. Case in point: Pic (not posted) of the underside is too blurry to tell what the date code is. The rectangle slots say post war for sure, though.
Should be here Tuesday evening to better analyze. I only have (2) ball end techs right now, so I'm excited to get and try a fat handle.

Excellent choice....you are in for treat....this is the razor that introduced me to efficient with a heavy dose of smooth.
If you can only have one, this would be it.
I’m betting my Masonic soul on the Gillette Red Tip made from England, I’ve got a Gillette Red Tip from US, in my den, because, I wanted to investigate this myth that everybody keeps saying the English is more aggressive then the US model Red Tip.

UK Red Tip blade gap is 0.81mm
USA Red Tip is 0.66mm
So more aggressive for sure...but in a lovely velvet glove sort of way
