"New" razors!

1953 (edit) super speed and a 1964 slim adjustable! The super speed is a little more aggressive than my Merkur 23c. I got a good shave with it today. I think I may make the super speed my focus for this month.

1978? You sure?

 

It has a "Y" date code on it. Perhaps I'm reading something wrong?

 

1953 I believe, good sir. But it's one of the best razors ever, dat's for sure.

 

Yup.

Can't believe I have date codes partly memorized but can't find my keys.

 

Ah, I missed that! I thought it seemed a little more worn for a 1978. I'm new to the vintage stuff.

 

Yup. On both points.

 

Also, thanks to @Straight razor dandy for sending these to me.

 

Congrats on the haul! Both great razors. You'll love the slim. It's like having several razors in one.

 

The 53 SS is a good shaver.

 

They're both great shavers!
1952 Super Speed Black Tip
1967 Slim Adjustable
Have fun!
Figuring out the blades is the best part!

 

A 73 would have had a black aluminum handle with a flaired tip.

 

Both nice razors, enjoy.....
