48/49 Gillette Milord in excellent shape. No Date Code

This is a beautiful Milord. It is a '48/'49 as indicated by the notched center bar and lack of a date code. Some plating rubbed away on the top edges from actual shaving, as shown in the pictures. Everything is aligned square and even, and open and close works perfectly. This razor stands apart from most Milords and 40's superspeeds in that the knurling on the handle is excellent. Most of these razors have worn handles so they don't grip well. This grips well.

As far as shave goes, I'd say this is about middle of the road aggressive for a 40's superspeed. Maybe just slightly more aggressive than the average 40's superspeed. That is the only reason for this sale. I prefer my 40's superspeeds on the very mild side.

So in all, a very sweet razor.

$37.00 shipped CONUS. Thanks for looking.

Looks the end same as a 48-49 superspeed. What's the difference? I've seen milord in gold but don't see the difference. Elaborate please?
