    Chiranjit, PM me your address. I have a Gillette Super Speed that I was going to put on Ebay. I can't think of a better use for it than a PIF to you. It was made in 1965, more than twice your age, operates like it was just made and it shined up real nice!

    Chiranjit, there are three pics here: before, in the middle of cleaning / polishing, after finer detailing... 1965  Gillette SS.JPG 2013-04-06 20.32.02.jpg 2013-04-06 21.45.17.jpg

    It really turned out nice but I promised my SO that I would find a COUPLE of razors that I really like and stick with only them for 6 months (unless I find something rare that I can't pass up). Since (for now) I have that couple, this one was the one to go. I think you'll really like it, especially since you're looking for a quality Gillette.
     
  6. i'm really looking forward to it

    Wow! congratulations Chiranjit Bose....Thats a GREAT razor...and Bravo Raven for the generous offer....I think alot of Chiranjit's problems with nicks will stop with a great razor and a little attention to technique....
    Let us know Chiranjit Bose how you like the Super Speed....I think you are going to fall in love with it....I did...I rediscovered traditional Wet Shaving with one and it gave me the best shaves of my life....:)

    I know how that is! It's boxed and ready to go. I'm working late Monday but will try to ship it then. If not, I'll ship it Tuesday afternoon. I'll let you know when it's on the way, either day.

    I found another "before" picture, for contrast. 1965  Gillette SS2.jpg 2013-04-06 21.45.17.jpg

    That was a totally cool thing you did. +1000


    Just curious, but what brands/types of blades are most commonly sold in India? We know of some Indian blades in the US, but it would be interesting to find out what is most popular in your country.

    I hope you enjoy your razor!
