Gillette 1958 T.V. Super Speed Safety Razor D1* Rhodium REVAMPED
Gillette 1958 T.V. Super Speed Safety Razor D1* Rhodium REVAMPED
Available to you is a great revamped Gillette T.V. Super Speed. It was plated in Rhodium, which gives an eye catching mirror finish. This is a non-tarnishing, hard and durable metal that Gillette only used a few times on their highest end razors. We stand behind our work, and are positive that you will enjoy shaving with this metal masterpiece. Nothing bent or broken- perfect mechanical condition. There was an extreme amount of corrossion on the razor when we received it thus most of the razor imperfections have been smoothed over but there still remains some areas of pitting inside and under the razor head. This doesn't affect shaving whatsoever but we want to disclaim that.

History: The Gillette T.V. Super Speed was a varient of the Regular "Flair Tip" Super Speed and featured an alternatively knurled handle. It was produced in large part to understand the power of a brand new marketing medium that came on the scene in the 1950's - Television. These razors were specifically promoted on TV to see if this new medium could rival printed ad's that Gillette had traditionally ran.
