Long Handle Gillette SS?

Hello everyone. I have a 57 Gillette SS which I just started using. Do they make a long handled version of the SS? My wife has a 67 blue Lady Gillette and it is nothing more than a long handled SS. I prefer the longer handle on a razor, thanks for the help.
 
As far as I know the only Gillettes with a longer handle would be a slim adjustable or the black handle adjustable that came out a little later. A very good non adjustable with a longer handle is the Schick Krona, they show up every once in a while on the B/S/T. Or, just use your wife's.

Try a Gillette Knack.

Long handle.

The Schick Krona is also a good choice as HoosierTrooper noted.

Here is a Knack;
 
And don't ignore that Lady Gillette. As you acknowledged, it is simply a Superspeed head with a long handle . . . about the same length as the long handled SuperAdjustable and a little longer than the Krona and the Knack. The fact that it was marketed to the ladies doesn't change the fact that it is simply a long handled Superspeed and should shave like one.

Regards,
Tom
