WTB - excellent to mint vintage Gillette razors

Posted by J.J. Howard on March 18, 2009, 2:36 pm

Specifically:
1940's Super Speeds
Early Flare Tip SS's (chrome or blue tips, not a heavier red model)
Early Fat Boys

Only interested in excellent to mint condition ones in perfect mechanical condition. Original cases and materials not necessary, as I plan on USING the razor, not as a museum piece. I am looking for the early models, because I prefer the more rounded head on them (as opposed to the later, flatter versions). Any willing to sell, please shoot me an email, or reply here. Thanks for your time and consideration.

...AND take the pre-1950's Super Speed off the list as well. Just scored one on eBay! Raging RAD in full effect...and Fat Boys are going for insanity-laden prices...

No Longer WTB - RAD sated...

ALL DONE! Thanks Andy, for the 1961 Adjustable.

I'm all set on razors now. I don't have a clue how I managed to attain and satisfy a serious case of RAD all within two and a half days, but I did it! That makes it:

1940's Gillette Super Speed - $20.50 (eBay)
1955 Gillette Super Speed "Flare Tip" (standard) - $30
1961 Gillette Adjustable "Fat Boy" - $30

All of these are excellent condition, razor only, and prices included shipping. I'm posting what I paid for historical purposes, in case prices go up or down, or you're looking to buy and want to see what others are paying. Could I have found better deals? Probably, but I'm not averse to paying for quality, and I don't have a whole lot of patience when I want something . Drives the wife completely insane...
