    My mom had given me my dad's "old razor" a few years back when she learned that I had started using a DE. For my entire childhood and early years of adulthood my dad has always had a full beard and never shaved. When he did finally shave his beard he started using cartridges so my mom figured he didn't have a use for his DE. I had no idea what it was until last Friday when I dug it out to clean it up and did a little homework on it. Turns out it is a 1951 SuperSpeed.

    I loaded a blade in it Saturday morning and was very pleased with the shave I got. It was very smooth with no nicks, weepers, or irritation.

    Thank You Gary, I've got them working somewhat yet sometimes I have a hard time finding my photos. It seems as though Apple puts and arranges my photos as "they" see fit. Just a point, a senior and a computer are competitors.. both are bound and determined to do what they want to do. :)

    p.s. The Minora in my opinion is quite similar to the 7 o'clock Sharp Edge.
