Description

One of the classic DE razors ever to be made - the Super Speed. Great overall condition on this Black Handle type. Nothing bent or broken- great mechanical condition. 

This is a great razor for a beginner to wet-shaving, and works as the perfect addition to any shave den. This razor provides a medium aggressive shave, pair with a more aggressive or more mild blade to get your perfect shave!

Country of Manufacture: USA
Type: Double Edge Razor
Finish: Factory Nickel head / Anodized Aluminum handle
Date: 1974 U4
Condition: Cleaned, Sanitized and Shave Ready
Grade: Original
Imperfections: as shown in photos

History: The Gillette Super Speed came on the scene in the late 1940's and ran through continuous production into the 1980's. The Black Handle type featues a lighter Aluminum handle but the classic performance known from the Super Speed series. 

Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.
