Dad's Super Speed

I got a call from my 87 year old mother yesterday, she found my dad's razor and wanted to know if I wanted it. He passed away in 1985. It just needs some scrubbing bubbles to look like new. As I hold it I am amazed. Dad was a full bird Colonel in the Air Force, a judge advocate. He looked the part every day. I wonder how many times must he have used this little razor? I can't wait to use it.

 

A great story. I bet every time you use it you will think of him.

 

Sweet. May it serve you well for many shaves to come.

 

Awesome story! My Dad recently gave me his SuperSpeed after I told him I started using a DE razor. It's truly a treasure when you are handed over a piece of history like that.

Use that beauty in good health!

 

That is so special...you are lucky to have that history. Good on you.

 

That is so cool! Enjoy it and the memories it holds!

 

Great story. I'm sure that you will enjoy it even more because it was you dad's.

 

Great story. I am glad you got his razor. That is very special.

 

The Super Speed is such a great razor. It's pretty well exclusive for me.

 

That's a great way to remember your Dad.

 

Very nice!

 

Used it this morning, it was wonderful. Personna Blue blade, Poraso pre-shave, Jack Black Cream, and Clubman a/s. I felt like my dad.

 

That right there is a true treasure. Congrats. Got any clean up pics?(It's a SS. I love them, and just wanna see more pics of them, LOL.)

 

It's nice to read stories like yours Paul. Enjoy that razor! It's a great shaver. It's my first choice when I go vintage. The late 40s Super Speeds are my favorites.
