That looks like a "66" and should not be opened I think.
I didn't look that close when I bought it. I found out that it opened when I got home. Apparently a previous owner clipped a tab. Not something I would do, especially to a razor in such good condition. The razor is in otherwise excellent condition. So for the $9 I paid for it I'm not exactly upset that it isn't supposed to open but now does.
Just make sure the blade is clamped tightly or it may shift off of the stops and be dangerous. They made them unopenable because opening them can reduce spring tension.
Boar brushes, brass razors, and hard pucks ARE traditional wet shaving. Everything else is modern day fluff for the girly men.
