My shave this morning was with my 1952 Gillette Super Speed. I received a birth year razor (1953), also a Super Speed, and loved it so much I bought this as a backup.
You mean like this?? Top to Bottom: 1952 Super Speed 1953 Super Speed 1955 Super Speed Blue Tip 1960 Super Speed Regular Flare Tip
yes,ok.both of you early superspeeds are newer than 1950.so both are slim head i believe.if you acquire an older one you will see the difference.1948-50 NDC have a notched center bar to accommodate blade quick dispensers,1947 is not.it is also reported as the best of the bunch shave wise. this also.
WHOA! Thanks for the great pictures ... I was aware of the hook on the center post for the blade from the dispenser but not all the other information. Nice! I love learning about this stuff.
you are most welcome. check out Mr.razor's site. https://mr-razor.com/ go to the "razor" section,then "one piece safety bar"
thank you.i have owned 2 others as well as a french monobloc,but passed them along.my intension is to keep this one.
thank you Chris.found it at a recent local antique fair for $15.00.it shows how much the prices are marked up on ebay..quite ridiculous..
The build quality from that era is apparent, great looking razor once again Today I gave up trying to centre the blade on the one on the bottom: clear winner here I think
cool New series razor.looks like it has the razor emporium repro handle.is that bottom razor a slant?.i thought the blade never lines up with slant razors..
thanks, could be, I bought it 2nd hand. Had trouble with the Lo Storto before, the blade moves too much on the pins. Have tried this again today with a different blade
