You would be looking for a Late model "40's Superspeed" as they were prodused up until the end of 1954, or a standard "Flair Tip Superspeed", i have a couple of 40's and a few Flair Tips, will check dates when back home tomorrow, also Max (Frenchblade) may have what you need, and possibly Erwin (Mertwje)

You're looking for one of the last Black handled Super Adjustable a.k.a. "Black Beauty", or a G2000 or similar. (slim twist/knack)
Date code is "H-3", the "black beauty" would be the one with the plastic base plate.
The black handled superspeed was stopped in 86, so you missed that one :(

I'll keep an eye out, but not making promises :) You could give Erwin (Merwtje) a shout, I think he might have the G2000.
(I know he has the G1000s)

Re: Birth Year Razors - Found!

Just thought I'd update everone on my quest for a early 1965 razor, with massive thanks to Max (Frenchblade) he has found me a K1 flair tip, which will be winging its way to me shortly. If anyone else is looking for a vintage razor, please PM him, he is very knowledgable, pleasent and prompt in communication and his prices are most reasonable.

Jon,

If you want the R1, which is not great looking, but should be a decent shaver, I can PIF it to you :p send me a PM.
