Gillette Q-1 date code purchased on Ebay

[thrown.clear]

I have a saved document that describes what a date-code is and where to find it that I send out to all the ebay sellers that don't list that information, or don't know that it matters.

I've been searching like mad for an S-1 adjustable (my "birth-razor") and I keep hoping that I'll get lucky with one of the "no-date-code" listings.

Well, I did. Sort of. A seller emailed me back and informed me that this was a Q-1. Well, I ended up winning it. Before I issued payment I asked him to make sure that it was really a "Q" and not an "O" with a scratch or anything, and he assures me it is.

I did good, right? I know that Q-1's are rare. Maybe not worth a fortune or anything, but I'm thinking I can at least sell it or trade it and end up with the S-1 I've been searching for. What do you think?

Bummer. I looked through my stash, and all I could find is your 'gestation razor'. Probably not a great thought, to shave with a razor that was made while your mother was throwing up.
