First vintage razor score: Gillette super speed

Won my first shaving related auction today, which also happens to be my first vintage razor purches. Came across it at the last second and just kind of jumped on it. Hope it wasn't to impulsive...

What do you guys think?

SS are very nice shavers. Fairly mild. Looks like you got it at a reasonable price. Enjoy the many years that razor has left.

I really didn't want to like mine when I bought it b/c it is kind of small for my hands, and a bit on the mild side but it is impossible not to. It just shaves very nicely and has no mean intent at all. It kinda shaves with a forgiving blade the way I wish my ball end tech did.

If that is your first de, you picked a great one to learn on btw.

Still new to de shaving, but this is my second razor. I've been using a 34c thus far.

Believe it or not, you may end up liking the SS more than the 34C. That's a nice little razor you snagged and the price was reasonable
since it looks like the plating is in good shape. Enjoy!
