Help with ID and possible cleaning tips

[JHatem]

Hello, I recently inherited my great-grandfather's razors. 1 of them is a 1948 Super Speed for sure. This one has been tougher to ID.

Once I figure out what they are and are made of, some cleaning advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Agree, Slim Adjustable . And with the proper case as well.

Made in the 2nd quarter of ( see the 2 on the RHS ) ...... ( can't see the letter on the LHS of under the head )

Nice shaver and nice family heirloom !!

Great! Thanks for the feedback! What is this made of and what would you recommend to clean it?

The razor is plated with Nikel and I would clean it with some scrubbing bubbles and some MAAS polish (go easy on the polish)

Thanks for the info and tips. The letter is "H" on that side. Using the guide, that means 1962. Does that sound about right? My great-grandfather was definitely alive & shaving at that time.


I already did 1 round of scubbing bubbles and a seperate round of oxi-clean in that picture above. Will give it another shot with scrubbing bubbles since that seemed to do more than the oxi. Thanks everyone, looking forward to getting my 1st shave in with these!
