I picked up a few razors this week at an estate auction. the one i was most interested in, in the lot I won was a Black Beauty. It has a Q date code. I read that Q codes are a mistake, and rare! coooool (I did notice someone else on here found one last month).
Is yours the long or short handle? If you're interested, here's a little more on the Q1 date code: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...year-gillette-razors.29207/page-3#post-617829 Good find, BTW.
