As a November '64 child you are looking at a "J4" date code and either a Tech, Flare Tip SuperSpeed, 'Lady Gillette' or the Slim Adjustable in either the normal nickel plated form or the 'Aristocrat' gold-plated form. A lovely razor the Slim 'Aristocrat', I have one from my birth year for my son. You can see pics here - Updated 18th birthday present for my son

Mark1966 .. pretty close to what I was looking at on ebay .. not sure if I can post links so I won't. It look snice and I would like to see how it compares to what I have tried so far.

You are fine to post links here, we even have the The "Don't bid on it, I already have" thread to warn other members off

A man of such class and indeed, overtly discernible distinction, no doubt we will get along
May I humbly suggest a chance upon a vintage DE, like a Gillette Slim?

I did exactly this @borked and thanks for giving me the code @Mark1966.

You got that one? Nice pickup, with a pack of Personna 74s too as a bonus!

I was looking at Aristocrats, which are fairly costly when in really good condition, so would have "ummed" and "ahhed" forever trying to justify the purchase. This one not so much "umming" and "ahhing"

And appears to be in great user condition.
Suggest holding out upon using the P74s for a while though if inexperienced, so you're able to fully appreciate what these normally $2-5 per blade blades are like
