first post! new to DE Razors

[ZinFull]

Hi, my first post here, I'm from Guatemala and although shaving is not considered such a nice thing here, I am starting to like it more and I am now considering to buy my first DE razor after years of using Mach 3 cartridges.

I am about to buy a used vintage DE Razor, here is the picture of the seller:







I would like to know if someone can help me out identifying this two razors, seems to me that the left one is a Gillette superspeed right?

Thank you all in advance!

Left Gillette Superspeed flare tip (a very good, mild razor) and right... Gillette New Short Comb?

Bienvenido a Badger y Blade! If it makes you feel any better shaving is not considered such a nice thing in the States, either, but we make it a nice thing! Stick around here for a little while, and it'll become a nice thing for you too. As always, any questions you have, feel free to ask. A word of warning, though: don't ask "Do I really NEED more than one soap and brush?"

The Gillette Superspeed is an excellent razor, both for starting out and for wet-shaving old hands alike. It is mild, easy to use and take care of, and built as solid as the heads on Easter Island. With moderate care it will last nigh on forever, and shave every bit as good in one hundred years as it did on the day it was first made.

Hello and welcome.

Hi ZinFull, welcome to B&B!

Nice first razor, that flare-tip superspeed. I started out on one just like that.

When you get a chance, please head over to our Hall of Fame (it's in the "Shaving Clinic & Newbie Check-In" forum) and tell us all a bit more about yourself. There are links in my signature to areas of B&B of special interest to beginning shavers--perhaps you might like to have a look at them. If you ever have questions or run into problems, don't hesitate to post them up. We're a welcoming and friendly group here, and there's always someone around to offer advice or lend a hand.

Enjoy your time here, happy shaving, and once again, WELCOME!!

 

[Graybeard57]

Welcome, sir. Let us know how your razors work out for you.
