Ironically, your photo is called "The Old" but I believe that was a razor that debuted in 1929 and was named "The New"
Here's some fun reading: http://www.mr-razor.com/Rasierer/Gillette%20Rasierer.htm Funnily, the razor that preceded "The New" was "The New Improved". The easiest way to distinguish "The New" from previous models is that it was the first Gillette not to have the two "vampire teeth" blade centering pins on the underside of the razor. To me, "The New" was the pinnacle of Gillette technology, better than the very aggressive razors that came before it and better than all the later solid bar (i.e. not open comb) razors of later decades.
