1952 Gillette Black Tip Super Speed Double Edge Razor X1

One of the classic DE razors ever to be made - the Black Tip Super Speed. Good overall condition on this Black Tip. Nothing bent or broken- great mechanical condition. Razor has been restored, buffed, aligned, ultra-sonically cleaned, sanitized and arrives to you shave ready. TTO works well, and doors open smooth as butter, just as they should. Great razor option for someone new to wet-shaving who is looking for a good quality starter razor. What makes the Black Tip unique is the plastic TTO knob, which no other model has. 

This razor will stand up to the test of time, as this razor already has since the 1950's! Discounted price due to the aesthetic condition of the razor, and it is not ellibiable for our Revamp Service. Try out vintage shaving without breaking the bank and the peace of mind knowing it came from Razor Emporium. Pick up this shaver today!

History: The Gillette Super Speed came on the scene in the late 1940's and ran through continuous production into the 1980's. In the 1950's Gillette tried to offer flexability for shavers by having a Light, Regular and Heavy Super Speed with varying blade exposures and handle weights. This razor model is extremely popular with today's community because of its heft and close shave performance.
