Today's score!

[Southern]

After all the advice I received on this forum regarding the purchase of a vintage Gillette to try (been shaving with a Merkur HD for years), I went out on the hunt today, browsing antique stores. Didn't take long. First place I went I scored a Super Speed for $4 .

Don't know much about it but underneath is the D-3 code. So based on what I could figure out, it's a 1958 TV type SS.

Check the pics of this razor after a little cleaning up (not very good because taken with phone camera). Still need to go over it well with MAAS. Has some patina to it, but looks to be in good working order. TTO works fine.

Thanks for the advice. I'm sure this won't be my last vintage razor but it's fun to get the first. Let me know if you have any info or suggestions.

You won't be disappointed! I just used my late grandfather's 64 SS this morning for the first time and WOW! Fantastic shave Congrats on the find!

There's no school like the "old school"!!

The TV SS is the first vintage Gillette I tried. Took a bit to get used to the bulbous head (first razor was a Merkur HD), but definitely a great shave. It's still very much in the rotation!

Ain't RAD fun?

That does indeed look like a TV. Nice score!

I went to a bunch of antique stores the other day. No one had DE stuff.

Nice find and congrats!

Very nice snag..These 58' TV's are great shaving razors.

NICE. The TV's are fairly rare and for $4 its a steal.

Nice to feel the solidarity in RAD group therapy.
