The gift he would choose himself. At least if this Australian 1950 advertisement is to be believed.

From the 25 November 1950 edition of Australian Women’s Weekly.

When making up your Christmas list, pan to give your man a new Gillette Razor Set … give him shaving comfort for life. The famous Gillette “Aristocrat” ONE-PIECE is the finest razor ever devised for the handiest, easiest, fastest shaves. With it, blades are changed like magic. TWIST – the razor opens! In goes the blade! TWIST again – it’s ready for use. There are no loose parets to assemble or mislay.

I like the door style here, I loosen it up then rinse the blade. I haven't tried the other style so I am biased.

it could be the particular brand I have for door style vs screw but my screw seems to shave better. My theory is it holds it down tighter.

I do find myself snugging the screw mechnism every few passes as it does seem to loosen up some.

I have to do it at the start of each but then im good for the shave. Granted though I put it on loose to dry.
