40's Superspeed...what modern razor is comparable to this razor?

[meglad]

I've recently started back with wet shaving and am loving it! I've been using my 40's superspeed for a close shave. What is comparable with this fine razor. I've looked at Henson, Razorcock, Rockwell, etc. Any advice would be helpful.

Thanks

Believe it or not, the Van Der Hagen TTO is a decent imitation ...

Weishi 9306 F TTO is a Gillette Super Speed copy and an excellent one at that. (Van Der Hagen is a rebranded Weishi).

About $12 with a travel case and blades on Amazon.

An awesome shaver.

Get a similar model Aristocrat/President/Diplomat and get it replated?

The only real differences are the finish and the handle. The higher end models have a much nicer feeling in hand then the regular superspeed.

There isn’t any modern equivalent. The VDH/Weishi is poorly made by comparison, and my 9306 doesn’t shave AT ALL. I PIF’d my VDH. It was never better than “ok”.

Keep using the SuperSpeed. You won’t find a better razor

My Weishi 9306F shaves exactly the same as a Gillette SS, which is a little aggressive. More aggressive than an R89 as an example.

The construction is top notch--an awesome chrome plated brass shaver at about $12.

Bought mine in 2017 for $10. Came with a travel case, 5 blades, mirror and cleaning brush.

But it’s not nearly as well built, and mine doesn’t shave. I bought my SuperSpeed new in 1973 for $1.99 with 5 blades. 51 years later it works like new.
