Hi all. Was hoping you could help me figure something out. The very first safety razor I ever purchased was a cheap Gillette with a black plastic handle from Thrifty back in the 90's. For those of you old enough to remember, how's that for a blast from the past? Anyway, I've been racking my brain trying to remember what model of Gillette razor it was. From what I remember, it had a plain, black plastic handle like the one in this eBay ad (I'm not the seller, I swear. It just has the handle as I remember it), but I could've sworn mine had the butterfly style doors.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? I could've sworn it had that exact same handle as the one in the above linked ad, and that the mechanism for opening the butterfly doors was immediatly under the head, not toward the bottom of the handle like on a Super Speed. I remember it having a plain, black handle with a hole in the bottom. Could I be mistaken on what I had? Did such a beast ever exist?
