Date codes

While cruising ebay I notice that the Gillette adjustable razors are all date coded. For example what does K2 stand for and is one date better than another as far as quality or ease of use? Thought this might be of interest to other newbies to the forum........Ed
 
Gillette used a couple diffrent date codes. Earl on the used a series of numbers with a letter, example C555609 (1914).
Later they when into what you showed K is the year 1964 and 2 is the second quarter of the year.
