Hello to everyone at B&B. I'm a new member to the forum and love the site! I have a question which I know will be more of a matter of opinion for most of you. But any feed back would be great. I was lucky enough to come into two gillette super speed flair tip razors. Both were owned by my grandfathers, one from my mothers side and one from my fathers. One is a 1956 blue tip and the other is also a 1956 but its a standard silver tip. I just happened to come upon a red tip super speed which to my amazement was also a 1956 model! Now remember I dont have the boxes or packages for any of the three razors and I would never really consider selling them. But my question is, if I were to sell the three 1956 models in blue, silver, and red what would a reasonable value be for the set? Thanks to everyone for any input!

Welcome to B&B
You should hang on to all 3 and use them
I sold a blue, silver, and red tip not too long ago. They are all nice shaving razors
If you have not already done so, stop into the Hall of Fame and tell everyone a little about yourself

Thank you Turtle! And yes I will hang on to them. I would never sell them due to the fact that they were passed down to me from my grandfathers. I really enjoy using the silver tip myself. It was more of a curiosity if all three would be worth more to a collector due to all of them being 1956 models. If they were only worth $5 bucks I wouldnt care, I enjoy them and find them all to be beautiful in their own ways. That makes them priceless to me. I have a few others but none I'm as proud of as of yet!
Welcome to B&B! I've been around here for a while, and I've had a standard '50s Superspeed and a Red Tip for quite some time, but only found a Blue Tip about a month ago. I didn't think I'd ever find the Blue Tip, as I had never so much as seen one in the wild. The one I picked up at an antique shop was in excellent condition and was even cased. Too bad the case it was in was for a TV special Superspeed! Oh well...

I got very lucky due to the fact that my blue tip was my grandfather's. I got even more lucky that it and my other grandfather's silver tip just happened to both be from 1956. I thought it was pretty neat that these two men both had razors from the same year! By the way americanarmsdealer, I love firearms as well. Sadly the prices have soared out of sight. But on a good note thats one reason I found myself a new hobby, DE razors!
