Vintage Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip/TV Special/DE Safety Razor, D-3 1958 For Sale

This is a vintage Gillette "Super Speed" safety razor, model D-3, made in the United States in 1958. The razor is made of nickel-plated brass and is a collectible item for those interested in vanity, perfume, and shaving. The brand is Gillette and the material is of high quality. This razor is perfect for those who appreciate the vintage design and would like to add it to their collection.

This razor separates itself from the other flare tips with its handle. There are long vertical reeds in the knurling instead of the circumferential grooves. The TTO knob functions properly and the knurling on the handle is quite nice. There is one lazy silo door that you have to nudge with your finger to load a blade into the blade deck. The razor is quite efficient and nimble. It sports a good shine for a 1958 classic.
