What a suitable name for an adjustable - Just.
It looks and shaves Just like an Old Type until you look under the base plate. There is an old Gillette advert that says that undoing the handle a bit increases aggression - Well a clever Frenchman thought to add some notches to "lock" it into a setting. The old blades were thicker and had more spring in them, so you could literally have 12 settings on it but with the current blades there is far less spring in them so only the first 3 have a positive click.
The text on the base plate says "MARQUE JUST DEPOSEE" on one side and "BREVERE SGDG" on the other The handle itself comes apart, I guess that this was just for weight saving as the cavity is too small to hold anything.
I can't find anything anywhere on this, so if anyone can shed some light here, please contact me.
