Autostrop Corporation was acquired by the Gillette Safety Razor Company in 1930. Gillette was forced into it really because Autostrop's Henry Gaisman pulled a fast one by patenting every conceivable blade cutout that Gilette would need for their 1930s Gillette NEW 3 piece razors which no longer used the 3 hole blades.
So Gillette did make Valet Autostrop razors till the end in 1946.

I don't know how many of the Valet Autostrops did this, but I have one that on the bottom says  "Gillette Safety Razor Co." and "Auto Strop Division."

"Gillette Safety Razor Co" on the top. "AutoStrop Division" on the left.

I'm officially surprised. Thanks for that Ray. That'll teach me to comment on stuff I've forgotten when a simple "I don't know" would have worked better. :-)

Yesterdays shave was with a Gem '24. It was previous most favored razor but I let it down. I forgot my face mapping and didn't get my easy BBS. It'll come back in time.

Not my favorite razor but usually does a good job.  You will get it all back soon.
