7 o clock were a brand, I believe, that made razors/heads very similar to the Gillette New OC - Gillette bought them out and continued with the name. I have one of these too. great razor
 
Almost as good as an OLD.

Unless you've got an aluminum handle, that's a solid brass Tech handle, which is fairly heavy compared to many vintage razors. I don't think that's the correct handle for that razor.
 
This is the handle normally found on those.

No prob's.
I have only used the razor once but it was a very nice shave.
I have had a Gillette NEW LC but didn't like it all that much.
It was replated (Nickel), and looked great. I couldn't get used to it though.
Never felt as smooth as my NEW SC, so I sold it.



The 7-o-Clock base is a different thing all together.
Looks similar to a NEW LC, but smoother.
Be nice if someone would make these again, maybe in stainless steel, then I wouldn't have needed to buy my Karve (oh, and also ordered a Wolfman).
