1976 Gillette Long Handle Black Beauty

1976 Gillette W3 "BLACK BEAUTY" adjustable safety razor. It has a 4 1/4" black handle and is in Very Good pre-owned condition with smooth operation and minimal damage, there is an extremely small amount of vintage Ware to the outside of blade compartment doors which can be seen in the pictures, I believe all it needs is a good polishing.
This razor has an adjusting dial 1-9 for control in comfort to shave, the dial works Flawlessly clicking at all the numbers. The TTO (twist to open) mechanism works as it should, opening easily and closing tightly to hold the blade. The numbers remain black and are just as dark as in 1976.
This great vintage item also comes with one NOS Gillette Blue Blade (please see pics).
The blade compartment doors open and close correctly but I believe they could benefit from a good polishing provided by the new owner. Other than the TTO doors the razor has NO wear. I have cleaned and sanitized the razor, it is shave ready! Please see photos which add to this description.; Auburn, New York, United States; User's other ads
