Gillette Slim Twist / Colours

[Zipp]

Good day, gentlemen!

Does anyone know how many colours were the Slim Twists manufactured in? I managed to find the: white, cream, yellow, orange, purple, black, black Deluxe (gold plated) and dark blue/grey. I saw some pictures online with neon green and drab green. How many others out there, though? Thank you!

Wow. I only ever knew about the black and the cream. Or maybe it was the white.

Nice collection you have there!

I didn't realize they were made in so many colors. Nice collection.

Wow, nice collection. The slim twist has always been a bit underrated.

I always thought the different tones were down to UV/environmental damage. Mine was yellow on one side, cream the other until it cleaned up to a white

There's red one and cream/gold one too right? Purple is the best!

 

[WetShaveVet]

Orange is the new black. I want the orange one!

Typical Dumb ? When were the Slim Twists made?

I find this very hard to read, I keep going back to the pictures

annnd here I was thinking I had the only red one in existence

But I can tell you mine is a cheap fake! I know this because I made it Red [the next time a cheap white one appears I'ma soak it in beetroot juice ]

Orange, yellow and especially GREEN are on the witch list I would just be happy with a Green if it were first out of the blocks.

I'm not 100% sure but not long after the slim adjustable, from 1961 untill the early 1980s?
Later ones have date codes, maybe those with a nice collection can chime in.
