Superspeeds - Differences in decades?

Messages

I have a 1950's superspeed and a 1960's superspeed (both flaretip) and noticed the heads have a very different profile to them. Having used a 1940's Milord (with yet another different profile), the difference was quite noticeable.

I haven't yet had the chance to try the 60's superspeed, as I has intended to sell it - does anyone have an opinion as to which of the superspeed designs is the best shaving?

(Apologies for the lack of photo-age, will have to dig out the razors and compare next time I get the chance)

Yes indeed, the earlier flairtips had a higher domed head (like the Fatboy) whereas the later flairies had a shallower, flatter head (like a Slim).

"60's Style - Note the lack of horizontal grooves on the TTO knob and the slight difference in general knurling from the 50's version. Also note the lower profile head."
