Very nice find, Andy! I especially like it when these old razors still have their case. The icing on the cake is that you like its shave. I have a couple of these 1940s style Super Speeds, one undated like yours and one from 1954, but I have been so Tech-centric that I have never actually tried them out. (Neither of mine has its original case. ) - Murray --Previous Message-- : This Super Speed was all gunked up, but the : mechanism worked. It came complete with : blue blade still inside (how nice). Listed : as a Schick razor for $15. Figured why not. : Couldn't see a date code at the store, and : still can't find one.

Shaves as well as any razor I own. : : : : : : :
