I have a knack and I think it compares similarly to the SS while leaning toward the milder side.

The have the same post early - 60's small Super-Speed head and shave the same as those.
Re: gillette knack, slim twist
My impression also. Pretty much same head - different handle. Not bad.

Re: gillette knack, slim twist
I have a Knack and a black handle super speed circa 1957 I think. The knack gives me a closer shave.

Wow, BPman, that's great! I've never seen that chart.
Interesting that it doesn't include the Aristocrat Adjustable, which was just a gold-plated Slim.

Re: gillette knack, slim twist
Probably because it was still a Slim.
Re: gillette knack, slim twist
BPman, my super speed is a black handle. Probably a 1967 vs 1957. I haven't checked the date code. The knack still shaves me better.

Compare the two as in theory they should have the same exact head I believe.pausted wrote:BPman, my super speed is a black handle. Probably a 1967 vs 1957. I haven't checked the date code. The knack still shaves me better.
