I finally picked up the last part to my 1957 birth year razor collection. I realize I'm not a big Super Speed fan, that that's about all there was in '57. Ball-end Tech Regular Super Speed Red Tip Super Speed Blue Tip Super Speed Were there any other Gillette's in 1957? Let me know if I've missed something.
Awesome razors. I was thinking of completing a set just like yours.. I wanted each of the color tips to go with my red tip.. Awesome job
I have the silver. I have the blue tip coming in the mail. I've been on the hunt for a red tip, but SWMBO has been giving me the stink eye. So I've got to play it cool, unless I happen to stumble upon an exceptional deal
They made an adjustable Toggle in 1957, I believe. 1957 Gold Super Speed Sportsman They made a MiLady in 56', did they make one in 57'? Did they make a Fat Handle Tech in in 57'? Greg W.
Herm, you have a fantastic birth year collection, and I love the photo of them all together. They are ancient, and they look great! I'm sure you do too.
Herm, 1957 was a great year and is my birth year too. You've done well collecting your birth year razors. I've only managed to pick up a 1957 silver tip super speed and it's the wrong quarter. I'm not sure what other razors with dates on them were out there that year.
Aw geez, just when I was happy my search was done. I'd heard of the 57 Toggle, very, very, very rare I believe. Never heard of the Sportsman, cool. Thanks!
