Bought this on ebay a while back before I really started looking up the different kinds of Gillette razors so I didn't think to look at the handle pattern. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&item=230251268709 Doesn't that look gold in the picture? When I first bought it I thought it would be one of the gold Gillettes. Turns out it's just a superspeed. Pretty decent condition, just really dirty. And the box is BEAT LOL. How do I tell what year it's from?
Whenever I take pictures at night with CFL or incandescent lighting nickel and chrome razors look goldish, so on eBay I'll always assume a razor is a more common variant. It's easy to PM and ask before bidding too. You have a great razor there at an amazing price! I love my SS's and really should use them more often, easily one of my top 5 shavers.
Yeah, apparently it's a Gem case. Definitely a Gillette SS though. Much better condition then the SS I bought from Blue_monkey. Think I'll keep the better looking one and maybe do a PIF to a razorless noob on here with the other one.
