I was visiting a friend in Tennessee last week and had a chance to check out some local antique stores. In addition to a couple of vintage shaving brushes for restoration, I picked up these two razors at a very good price.
The first is a Gillette Slim Adjustable, Date Code I1 (First Qtr 1963) and the other is a Gillette Super Speed, Blue Handle, Date Code C1 (First Qtr 1957). The Slim cleaned up nicely and is in great shape. The Blue Handle is missing the end caps, the blue paint is worn, and the aluminum has light corrosion, but it's my first Blue Handle found in the wild so I'll hang onto it for now.
