So I've only been DE shaving for a (very) short time, but was quickly taken with the idea of owning a birth year razor from my readings, and started looking for a D-code from Gillette (1983, 1st quarter to be exact).
Immediately found one, down to the quarter, listed on eBay for what I thought was a pretty excessive price. It was listed with a Make an Offer option. Nosed around a bit, and it seems the 80s and later things get a bit tough to track down, so I made what I would consider a low-ball offer to see if there was any traction for negotiation. I'll be a monkey's uncle, but they took my first offer and the deal is closed.
We'll see what arrives, but I'm pretty excited if for nothing else than owning a useful piece of hardware that's as old as I am for what I consider a very fair price.
