Description
For those who prefer a adjustability with their shaves - look no further than the Gillette Super 109 a.k.a. Gillette Super Adjustable - long handle. This razor features a brass head with fresh rhodium plating and aluminum handle. Wet-shavers world-wide respect the quality and popularity of this renowned adjustable razor. The adjuster works very easy, and spins from 1-9, changing the amount of blade gap exposed during your shave. The higher the number, the bigger the blade gap (thus more aggressive of a shave), the smaller the gap (more mild shaves).
This is a unique razor to say the least to the collector. We were surprised to see that this razor does in fact have a Q1 date code, which we have not seen one before. If you check out our date code section on our website https://www.razorarchive.com/gillette-date-codes there is not even a Q year! yet, we even looked at this with a jeweler's loupe, and are sure it is a Q, and not an O! A rare anomaly from Gillette! Technically, Q would be 1971.
