The set is presented in a purple cardboard box with a matte appearance, whose rectangular shape is distinguished by its simplicity and elegance, typical of men's shaving accessories from the second half of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade box, placed on the open lid of the case, clearly displays \"5 Gillette GII\" in purple letters on a light background, as well as a partially legible area at the bottom indicating \"sharp twin blades\" and \"platinum-coated edges.\" These mentions confirm the presence of five double-edged blades, an innovation characteristic of the GII range, renowned for the quality of its shave and its increased durability thanks to the platinum coating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep purple outer case highlights the sober design of the inner box.
