1979 Z1 Gillette birth razor

[dieselfuel79]

...I found one that appears to be in mint condition. No chips in the black on the handle, looks like it's been cleaned up very nicely. It's not being sold on B&B, so I would like to ask, does $15 sound reasonable for an item like this? (Sorry...never bought a vintage razor before.)

Assuming it's a black-handled Superspeed, I'd say it's reasonable. Maybe not a steal of a deal, but *I'd* pay it for a mint birth-quarter razor and not lose any sleep. Congrats on the find!

Looks right to me. Nice finish. I'd put it in the collection.

I am super pumped. I got my Colonel X2L in the mail yesterday. Lathers like a champ. Awaiting my G5 scuttle and now, this 1979 Z1 SS. (purchased.)

In that condition I'd pay $15 without hesitation for a birth year SS. Nice find!

Your asking price is reasonable.
