I just love this razor...I think that it is one if the must own. Shaves mild, but still very efficient. Was truly a DFS in one pass, but went for a BBS with three passes and some buffing.

I just saw an original store display complete with six NOS HFT razors for sale on one of the online auction sites. This display clearly identifies them as the Heavy Flat Top razor. I believe the mystery concerning the name is over!

Here ya go: My HFT is packaged exactly the same way as the ones in this display, right down to the ivory colored blade vault. Mine was unused; the blade vault is still in its cellophane wrapper.

It also included the instruction sheet. The only problem with the whole set is that the case lid is a little off kilter and won't close properly. I think at one time the plastic might have softened a bit in a hot attic, etc. and caused the issue.

I think at one time the plastic might have softened a bit in a hot attic, etc. and caused the issue. If that was my case I might try filling up a sink with hot tap water,let the case soak in it a minute or so then gently tweak it back into proper alignment and immediately run it under cold water few a few seconds to preserve the repair.... * But it's not my case so if you try and fix it using my advice and mess it up,don't blame me !!!
