Just starting to get into a terrific cable TV show, Mad Men that is totally set in 1962. This whole show is throwback to the era of my extreme youth (my date code is D3).
Anyway in the final scene of this episode, the dashingly handsome but consistently troubled Don Draper, advertising executive extraordinaire, is shown wet shaving!!! He is using a shave brush, but he whips up some of the wimpiest lather I have ever seen (get this man some Tabac or at least some vintage Old Spice).
His razor? Sadly not a Fat Boy, not an Executive, not an an Aristocrat. No, it was a lowly black handled Super Speed!! And with no blade judging by the stubble left behind after each pass!
Terrific show by the way!! Can anyone tell me the years this razor was in production?
