I have 2 Gillette razors. One I bought new years ago. It has a black handle and 9 adjustable settings. The other was my grandfather's. It's a 3 piece. I'm not sure if some of the plating came off of some of the parts or if it's really a two tone razor.

Is there somewhere I can look to help me identify these razors?

Thanks,
Dan

A pic would be helpful, if you look underneath the razor or in the doors you should find a code. Here is the code listings, I hope it helps you.

Dan,

The first razor sounds like a Super Adjustable. I don't know of another adjustable Gillette with a black handle. If you look through the Review section of this board you can find a picture. Regarding the other razor, there's a huge number of Gillette 3 piece razors. Can you post a pic? Someone here is very likely to know what it is.

Hope this is helpful
