Goldfinger was in 1964 so you’ll want a Gillette Slim Adjustable Razor from 1964.
Gillette’s date code for 1964 is the Letter ‘J’.
Flip the razor over and look for an imprinted letter ‘J’ under the razor guard.
The single-letter date codes are accompanied by a number, which corresponds to the quarter of the year.
So 'J - 1' means 1964, January-March.
Here’s an example below:

I think you'll probably find that while GOLDFINGER was in production, the Book-Bond was using Gillette.
Remember, the noted change from Gillette to Hoffitz - because Fleming-Bond believes Hoffritz to be better now than the Gillette original - only occured in THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN GUN and 007 IN NEW YORK, both published after the production of the GOLDFINGER movie, the lmited, and largely obscure, initial run of 007 in NEW YORK accepted.
think of the current state of razors? How does the quality of the shave of the old Gillettes and Hoffritz's being discussed here compare to the modern razors and blades now? I've also never personally liked the designs of the modern razors, because of their shape and colors they look like a cross between a Power Ranger, athletic shoes or something out of Star Trek.
