Gillette Superspeed - long handled version?

I'm in St Ives, Cornwall - in a really old cottage, so it seemed appropriate to use my 1940s Superspeed. I've had really great shaves with it. I don't use it often because I prefer long handled razors. I understand that the Knack was regarded as a long handled version. Is that so? Are there other long handled equivalents of the Superspeed?
 
The only other one that used the same head as a Superspeed was the "Lady" gillette.............as far as i know.

get a Blue handled one Fido, and forget it's a Lady Razor, i have shaved with my Blue handled one, it's great...
 
I agree that the Lady Gillette is a fine looking razor and a quality item, which fits in nicely at the end of my line of vintage twist to opens. I still haven't shaved with it, not on account of the "lady" bit - couldn't care less about that - but because I strongly prefer short handles.
 
I'm strongly enjoying Audiolab's WS Sticky - long handled joy.

Of course you could put an SS head on any long(er) handle and have a customised razor.
