    Says it's from '68 (a very good year). Blue handled TTO with a smooth flare tip. The Lime ad has a '60s Super Speed but this is very different. Something is off about the neck on this one...maybe it's a mockup created just for the ad? Not sure what the point would be of that. Can't quite make out the underside of the head, either. Weird.

    Very cool looking foam cans they had back then, too, both of them.

    That's interesting up close I don't think it's a Gillette build. Sort of resembles a Krona. Must be a mock up or something.

    You know, I was just thinking the bottom resembles what I recall the Krona looks like, but the doors do not look angled like the K's. The mystery grows...

    Not sure about the first razor, but the second looks like a superspeed. I liked the Palmolive lime.

    The Lime one for sure. The blue one...? No crimp above the knob, no knob ribs, the end is plugged solid.

    It's drawn in or airbrushed in. It's not a real photo of a razor. The head looks real but not the handle

    Could be. The head is a Krona...bottom matches and angles on the door faces aren't quite visible from the sides.
