    1980. Gotta love it.:happy097: Not sure if it's a birth year razor, but I cut the living #$%& out of my lip with one when I was 2 years old.

    Did they make any DE razors in 1975 ? If yes, what code should I look for ? I would love to get one.

    Look for a U.S. made Black Handle Super Adjustable or Black Handled Super Speed with code V.

    The one on the right, is from 1956, my husband's birth year. I gave it to him as a graduation gift. The one on the left is from 1959, th year I was born (and the year dirt was invented.)

    I have seen photos of my mother on the farm in the 1940s in dirt. I think 1959 was the year that dirt was "reformulated" to serve as an aid to the laundry soap marketeers! :rofl:

    1986 Not the greatest year for these razors but still a good shaver.

    Also the Lady Gillette and Gillette Knack razors were made in 1975. I believe the British Gillette Slim Twist was as well.

    I can find plenty of 1982 Gillette's but I wanted my quarter as well, and people seem to be overcharging for C1's :(
