A andyml73 Messages 47 Wednesday October 28, 2009 #1 I've had a cunning plan to get my dad a birth year razor for Christmas. This would be 1944 (I think.. must check) Any suggestions? I believe that Gillettes of this year aren't date coded (?) so this could be fruitless (?) One of the models that sprung to my mind was a Gillette tech.. although these are notoriously mild I believe (?) Am I missing the obvious choice? I think he currently uses disposables, which is clearly a disgrace and needs to be rectified immediately.
