This chunky, sturdy 3 piece offering from the stable of Gillette is very hard to find. The Gillette NEW De Luxe razors were similar to the NEW razors, but with a slightly heavier head weight. The difference between a typical NEW and NEW De Luxe would be 3-5 grams. The Deluxe version of the NEW was made at two different times: ca. 1930 with serial numbers but without patent numbers, and ca. 1935 with patent numbers but without serial numbers.
This razor is the rare special variation, but unfortunately it does not have the original comb, but rather the long comb version. It is very hard to find in its original condition, so it may be worth it buying this razor and looking around for the correct plate or donor razor, we'll let it go cheaply.
The handle has 2 cracks both ends of the barrel, weighs 59 grams, and and stands 78 mm tall.
