Birth razors, Who's got them, who's looking?

[FrenchBlade]

Ok, I'm only a newbie here, but I saw that quite a few threads talk about birth razors. (for the fellow newbies, a razor that was made in our birth year)

Who's got one? What is it, and what year?

Who's looking for one?

If the mods think this should be in BST, by all means move this thread.

I'll start,

No BR, would like a an Adjustable or a SuperSpeed from 1976

Next....

Edit: also looking for one from 1948, to get something special for my dad's birthday in November
Edit2: W3 (July) for me, not sure what the one for my dad is supposed to be...

I'm a lucky boy - I was born right on the edge of P3 & P4 (I mean right on the edge - if I use GMT I'm a P3 by 40', if I use BST I'm a P4 by 20'). I have a SuperAdjustable (long handle) in both.

i want a long handle 1971 nos im scoring the bay now :shock: cederfunitureman normally has them but way overpriced. had one lost it in the house fire.

I own three I4 Gillette Slims (late December back in '63). I bought the first one at top dollar, the second because it was a reasonable price and the third by accident in a shaving set.

Yep, got one. I don't use it though. Not because it is mint and boxed or anything like that, just because my other razors are better.

Edit: Should have mentioned - it is a black-handled Super-Speed (that narrows it down to a decade or so).

Once I get reimbursed by SWMBA, she'lll have bought me an "H3" Slim (right quarter of the year even). I'm not sure how good of quality it is until I get it in my grubby mitts. It will also be my first slim.

 

[moodymick]

Not got one (1st Qtr 1967 - just in case ), but not really looking - i don't need an(other) obsession.

 

[Blyth Spirit]

I've got an A3 flared Superspeed, I don't use it often but always on the big day. It's actually a month older than me but it'll do. I can always lie about my age...

 

[Arrowhead]

Haven't got one, and not looking. My rule is: never use a DE that is younger than you are.

 

[quattrojames]

I've not got one, I'm in no hurry, but one day I'm sure it will become this month's "must have"!

Any top tips for the third quarter of 1973?

 

[missingskin]

Not got one but a C2 USA or British equivalent, (hard to find as they were not dated !!).........Will get one, one day.......

 

[Yellow Jim]

Not much choice for me to pick up, either a Black Handled Superspeed or a Super Slim Adjustable from the first quarter of 1980 (A1). I'll have to keep an eye out for one.

 

[hando]

an mint NOS S3 would be nice :roll:

The 1940s weren't really a gr8 decade for razors I guess, few other kindsa close shaves beeing experienced.
