Birth Year Razors

Exactly like the title implies whats your Birth Year date code razor. I know mine is a 1982 C3 code but i have absolutely no idea based on the charts i have found what razors would actually have been made then. The charts I have seen do not have the razors listed only the date codes.
 
Mine's an S4 (Fourth Quarter 1972). Though for some reason S4s are hard to find. S2s are fairly easy though. I have a Super Adjustable long handle and short handle as well as a Super Speed and some travel techs all in S2s. And of course...My Psycho Tech is from 1972 also!
 
The list at the other place is pretty comprehensive, at least for Gillettes.

I am also 1982 but C4. That puts me in the range of the SA and black handle SS.
 
1976 W-2

Have:
Black Handled Super Speed
Black Handled Super Adjustable
Trac II (cart)

Need:
Tech, Aluminum handled
Atra (cart)

I also have nearly every razor from my Dad’s year 1955, A-2.

And I have one razor for my Grandfather’s year, 1927.

Now that my friend is hilariously true.
 
No birth year razors that I'm interested in. I'm too young for a prewar fat handle Tec & Aristocrat Jr., & too young for a Slim. BTW, birth year is 1957. Possibly a red tip, but no real yearning for it as I'm quite happy with my Tech, & 'Crat Jr.

The older the better for me. One exception is the Slim, K4. How many consider 1965 new?

Red Tips are GREAT shavers !!

I actually have a 1957 Flare Tip. It is my dad's birth year but it isnt his quarter. My wife actually stole it from me so when i find her a Blue Woman's TTO like @LNHC just received im gonna grab it and then take back what is mine. (as long as she says it is ok she also took my Ghost Lime CBL soap)
