Available to you is a classic Gillette TV Special Flare Tip Super Speed. This would be an ideal starter razor for someone new to wet-shaving due to the comfortable and close shaves provided. These razors are the perfect moderately agressive razor - made by the millions and used by men around the world for decades.

Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.

History: The Gillette Super Speed came on the scene in the late 1940's and ran through continuous production into the 1980's. The "Flair Tip" variety came out in the 1950's and ran through the late 60's and was designated as the "Normal" variety for average skin and beard. They are known as one of the best all around DE razors to be made. The TV Super Speed  was a specially marketed razor at the dawn of the age of Television. Marketers at Gillette released this TV Special and marketed with TV commercials only to see if it would be a successful platform.
