    I think they are awesome for whipping up lather in no time. Price was half for what I paid new so couldn't resist.

    He said he has a couple more gold ones, but has to find them.
    How do I determine the year and model?

    Jimmy Mac, there is a date code under the head of the two razors. Or at least there will be on the Slim Adjustable. When you hold the razor so you can read the words written on the bottom of the razor head, on the left side will be a letter, and on the right side there will be a number. The letter is the year, and the number is the quarter of the year they were made. On the 1940's style super speed it may have been made before date codes were put on razors. Once you know the letter/number code you can visit the razor archives site and they have a chart that tells you which year they were made.

    Thanks, the slim adjustable is 1966, first quarter.
    The super speed has no date code.

    If it has no notch like the one on the left it is a 46-47. If it has a notch like the one on the right it is a 48-50. That is as close as we can get with these. Nice catch.

    I ordered these off Amazon with birthday money. They should arrive tomorrow.
    I also have a knot coming from WD. I got it in a trade from Don. Hence, it is one of my Don Knots. There is no telling when it will arrive knowing the Texas USPS Vortex... Expected delivery day is Thursday the 22nd. We shall see.

    The Aristocrat (no code) and Red Tip (B2) arrived today and both are in excellent condition. I'm very happy with the purchase and especially the price. Just need to clean them up and start using them..........

    Either way, it is a sweet razor. It should clean up very nicely.

    Just what I don't need another brush. Bob Quinn Faux Ivory with 28mm TGN Finest. Asking price was 1/3rd what they sell for and couldn't resist this handle for the price.

    I was fortunate with this one...An old friend kindly put me onto it cause he knows I like my injectors...I knew it was well hidden away...I have a feeling that this just might be the Special Edition Model ..;)

    Waiting for three beautiful razors, purchased from an exceedingly generous and informative new-found friend. One of these (probably the gold Tech), will be my 13 y/o son's first razor:
