Gillette Super Speed ''White'' Handle???

If you ever wondered how a Black Handle Super Speed looks like without it's black coating.

Although a black handle would look similar, this is a British blue tip. The knob, knurling and end connectors all differ.

Any idea why the handle is so white?

Aluminum oxide

Be careful when cleaning it with any chemicals... Aluminium is much more sensitive than nickel plated brass.

It's not my razor, I found the pictures on the bay while looking around for anything nice. At first I thought that it's a Black Handle SS, but it's definitely a Blue Tip SS. I don't know how the owner cleaned that razor, but i've never seen any aluminum SS with such white handle before.
