imgur.comIt looks to be a vintage Flying Eagle set from China. I've heard many compare the razor to the Gillette Tech in terms of aggressiveness. Flying Eagles are still manufactured today, but not held in very high regard. The razor you have there may be a different story given its age, but it's a beautiful case regardless.

It's a Chinese Flying Eagle. I haven't heard great things about it but the case is kinda neat, I guess.
I heard they are great little mild shavers. I hadn't really found anything bad about them yet.
The box is the coolest part of these. I've owned a bunch and the razors are generally pretty unusable. Most I've owned have baseplates that are such a soft metal that the act of shaving with them will deform them making them unsafe.
They come in a bunch of styles, though. I had one like yours and several with different colored and textured plastic-coated handles. If you have an old Gillette Tech (which these are a bad clone of) you might be able to replace the Flying Eagle head with your Gillette and have a nice little travel set.
