40s Super Speed, Old Type, and Ball End Tech HYBRID!

Description
Very interesting piece here put together by Back Roads Gold. The handle shaft is from a 40s style Super Speed with Old Type ball end and head assembly. So this is a touch wider and heavier than the standard Old Type handle. Also for contrast it is wider and a touch lighter than a Ball End Tech handle. The handle was replated in Nickel. The head is that from an O1 Ball End Tech. Great condition. I've added a nylon washer to protect the bottom plate and a free pack of Gillette Nacet blades. A truly unique piece built by a refurbishing wizard. Enjoy!
