I’ll never forget that ‘86 debacle! 12 years old and I cried into my scarf all day long. Albert-ruddy-Kidd, ffs!!!
‘98 helped heal a few wounds and I was there in ‘06 but the year ‘12 was like a lifetime of Christmases in one afternoon.
Great banter @Mike Smart - you properly caught me with the old tweeds down there. Not often I can’t think of a witty rejoinder…

Still looking for a Y1 1978 super speed if anyone has one. There are a few in USA but stupid postage prices so holding out for a UK based seller.

Have you seen this one?
I'm a complete beginner to DE shaving so if this isn't what your looking for, apologies.
Edit. Just realised you were looking for a UK seller, note to oneself to properly read the post!

Tech, Black handled Super Speed, Super adjustable, Slim Twist,... that Super Speed is probably the best of that bunch.

I'd love a Gillette Tech (or a Slim) 1961 G2 if anyone can point me in the right direction...
(Not a fatboy as I'm given to believe the head profile might be more challenging under the nose).

I noticed this on Fleabay. Photos are not too clear but "seems" to be in general good nick.
1961 Gillette G2
Should I go for it or maybe wait for something else to turn up?
Opinions/comments?

That is going to be a LOT (a real LOT) of money for a mere Gillette Tech ... assuming you're not in the US?
