What year did Gillette swtich from the normal profile Superspeed head to the low profile (slim style) head?
Was it 1965 or 66?
Thanks

The Superspeeds went to a low profile head in '60.

Wait, is it 63 or 60?

Hmm. If it was 60, it was halfway through, because I have an F1 and an F2 with the old profile. Here I had been thinking that they changed the head at the same time as the handle. Apparently not.


edit: add an F3 to the higher profile group.
the next one I have after that is I2, and it's low.

My G-1 has a high profile head and my J-4 has a low profile head.

Anyone have pictures comparing the two styles?
