Razors with oval slots and no date code are typically from the late 1940s. The change in slot shape was related to better blade support and the angle at which the razor works.\u003cspan class=\"uJ19be notranslate\" data-wiz-uids=\"zFLVFe_z,zFLVFe_10,zFLVFe_11\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"vKEkVd\" data-animation-atomic=\"\" data-wiz-attrbind=\"class=zFLVFe_z\/TKHnVd;\" data-processed=\"true\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Razor Emporium","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49639182663957,"sku":"C-1219-10","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0802\/1108\/3541\/files\/319798d1-8e9c-43b5-8776-f40edaa8611a.jpg?v=1766246367","url":"https:\/\/www.razoremporium.net\/products\/1940s-gillette-gold-fat-handle-tech-double-edge-safety-razor-set-with-case-original-condition","provider":"Razor Emporium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
