This Gillette safety razor is a flare tipped “Super Speed” model and is a twist-to-open style. It was manufactured in the USA in 1967. A double edged safety razor such as this one uses a standard double edged blade and provides an extremely smooth, clean shave when paired with shave soap and a brush. It is in excellent shaving condition and aesthetically, it looks very good. This razor is suitable for new wet shavers and seasoned veterans alike and comes with a full “how to” sheet explaining how to get the best shave. Please note that the aesthetic qualities of the razor do not affect the quality of shave. “Shaving condition” indicates the razor’s technical abilities and all double edged safety razors we sell are shave-ready when you get them!
