February 21, 2014. I finally got my birth year razor. It is the rare 1947 Gillette Super Speed.
It is the first year of production for the Super Speed and I believe the first new Gillette after WWII. It is dated by the fact that the center post bar is not notched.
In 1948, the Super Speed got the new improved notched bar. Gillette introduced the push out blade dispenser that year in conjunction with the improved notched bar. The non-notched Super Speed was only made one year, 1947.
Delivery expected: February 26
