Gillette Super Adjustable 109 Gold

The Super Adjustable 109 Gold was manufactured between the first Quarter of 1969 along with the Super Adjustable 109 in Nickel but production was stopped in the second quarter of 1970, so for a total of 11 months.
Gillette named it an Adjustable, but charged $2.95, which was a $1.00 premium over the nickel plated version. Its plated in 23 Karat Gold. The handle ia 109mm in length and as with the nickel version, the head is plated brass with the handle being aluminium.
It was sold in Japan in a presentation box and was called the "New Aristocrat" there.

How does it shave?
It shaves the same as the Nickel version. Its a mild to early medium shaver. I do find the handle a bit too long.
