AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old Gillette razor blade box, GII model, visible in the photo. It is a rectangular package in dark purple tones, with a transparent window showing the inscription "5 Gillette GII" in purple letters on a white background. The front also indicates "5 two-blade cartridges" and "PLATINUM EDGES," suggesting double-edged blades with platinum coating, which was valued for durability and smooth cutting.

The box features a design characteristic of the 1960s, with a sober and functional graphic style typical of that period. The corners of the packaging show some traces of wear and slight marks, but the overall presentation remains clean and legible. No other elements of the box are visible in this photo.

The visible surface of the packaging does not show the blades themselves, only their packaging and key information. The typography and presentation confirm the retro style of the product, enhanced by the use of purple and white, colors often used by Gillette on its historical ranges.

The mention "PLATINUM EDGES" highlights the manufacturing quality of these blades, designed for efficient use and increased durability. The whole is well presented on a plain orange background, with a floral pattern in the background, which does not affect the object but highlights the contrast and vintage aspect of the box.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The packaging shows some visible wear marks on the edges, consistent with prolonged storage. No major defects are visible on the front of the box.

Did you know? Gillette GII cartridges, launched in the 1970s after the success of the first twin-blade razor, marked a significant step in the history of modern shaving. Their twin-blade technology, here featuring platinum edges, significantly improved shaving precision and comfort compared to single-blade systems.
