I’m a recent convert to wet shaving and the idea of having a birth year razor has become attractive to me.
I’ve only been exposed to this because I was given my fathers 1958 Executive Fatboy.
I recently picked up an early 60’s slim and a Super Speed Flare. I like them both.
I like Gillette and after doing some research I found that I’m a W-4 guy (1951 thank you very much).
I found that the Gillette lineup for that year included:
I’ve looked at the Black Tips and of course the Aristocrats
I have no experience with any of these models. The closest I have is the Flare.
I’m not partial to a TTO or 3 piece.
If you had one model to suggest, what would it be.
Thanks
Dirty
