Hi. new to forums. Just purchased my first safety razor a gillette. Was wondering if anyone on forums could help me out with identifying which model it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome to B&B!

The razor is a Gillette Flare-tip Super Speed in excellent condition. The Manufacturing Date Code is E3, which places it in the third quarter of 1959. It's a classic razor and an extremely good intro razor for a newbie.

Looks like F3 to me. That would make it 1960.
