Description
A: Leatherette case with a wave pattern on the top, and a scale pattern on the bottom. The entire case is a dark brown colour. It has a metal hinge opening. Inside the case is a hard insert molded to the shape of the razor. The interior is black velvet and on the top there are three metal tabs so that the metal replacement blades stay in the upper half on the case. Faintly engraved on the top is "Gillette". (10 cm x 5 cm x 3.5 cm) B: Safety Razor made of a steel alloy. The majority of its length is the handle, which is textured for grip. The top is the blade-holder, which is a rectangular piece of metal with a curved top. In order to open the blade holder, you turn the handle and it opens like a butterfly. (9 cm x 4.5 cm) C: Pack of replacement blades in a blue cardboard box. They have a picture of King Gillette on the front. It has a stylized border, and instructions on the back, on how to extract blades from the package. The box is still partially wrapped in plastic. On the top flap it lists the price (5 cents). The brand of blades is "Gillette Blue Blades".
