Hi there. That's a nice Super Speed to start with.

The brush is nice but try to upgrade it soon.

Hello and welcome to B&B, Justin. This is a great forum full of friendly, helpful shavers. You'll learn a lot here.

For a brush, check out a Semogie 1305 or the badgers at Whippeddog.cm

Welcome to the club, Justin. Glad to have you aboard.

Welcome from Arizona !

Welcome to B&B Justin and beautiful looking razor!

Welcome to the forum, Justin !!

Welcome aboard !

Hello Justin. Welcome to you.

M.B. Dragon's Blood is one of my favorites

Welcome and great score on the razor!

Welcome to the Forum. Very nice razor. It looks like a 1958 Gillette Super Speed T.V. Special. It was offered on the T.V. show The Gillette Cavalcade Of Sports in 1958. I think the Special Price was $.99.

Thanks for the info. I got it for a good price I think. Was around $20 shipped. It can't get here soon enough!

Hey Justin. I'm new here myself, but if you haven't gotten that brush yet, I would seriously suggest getting one of Omega's cheap boar brushes instead. They're within the same price range (and maybe a bit cheaper), but I would say that over time they're much better than a cheap badger brush.

Well so far the aftershave and shave brush have shown up. I also bought some astra sp, derby, crystal red, and Gillette silver blue blades to try. The razor should come Tuesday. Still waiting on my mama bear's soap to ship though :/
