Birth Year (1970) Gillette Razor

[Dadof3]

A silly question from someone who is not a Gillette afficionado:

I'm looking for a Gillette Razor from my birth year. I'd like an adjustable or a Red Tip but I'm not sure if either of those were made in 1970. (And I'm a little ashamed of the ignorance of my quest and question).

Can someone tell me what Gillette razors are "out there" that were made in 1970?

Humbly,

Paul

The short or long handled Super Adjustables were around then, as was the Knack (or British Slim Twist) and the black handle Super Speed.

My recommendation is a black handle super speed.

Thank you, Gents!

Bearing in mind that the Super Speed is not adjustable, I recently acquired a P1 date code (January - March 1970) Super Speed.

PM me if there's any interest.

I have a 1970 short handle slim, and a black handle 1967 SS, which would be the same as the 1970. Both are excellent shavers, and show up fairly frequently on B/S/T for reasonable prices. Maybe a WTB post is in order. If you don't have an adjustable, go for the slim.

I didn't like shaving with the Super Speed I had a few months ago. I'd like to get an adjustable.

And I think a WTB post is in order...

Thanks again, gents.
