History: The Gillette Super Speed came on the scene in the late 1940's and ran through continuous production into the 1980's. The "Flair Tip" variety came out in the 1950's and ran through the late 60's and was designated as the "Normal" variety for average skin and beard. They are known as one of the best all around DE razors to be made. The TV Super Speed  was a specially marketed razor at the dawn of the age of Television. Marketers at Gillette released this TV Special and marketed with TV commercials only to see if it would be a successful platform.
