Year of birth Gillette

[AJP]

Does anyone know whether Gillette was still producing DE razors in 1980? If so where i can see a pic so i know what i am looking for?

If they stopped, i may have to keep an eye out for one with my parents year of birth

Thanks
Tony.

Looks like there were still some black handled super speeds and adjustables being made maybe.

1980 is a date code of "A" The date code list is here.

Good hunting...

The black handled Super Speed is a great shaving razor...

A person could do much worse!

The flare tip (right hand side of Pike's photo.) is a nice razor to shave with.

Just TTO. The Slim Twist is like a Super-Speed with long plastic handle

The Black Handled Super Speed is one of my favorites.
