Check for a letter and a number under the head of the razor, the letter indicates the year of production and the number indicates what quarter of the year it was made.
Feather is a great choice, it's a bit sharper than what I use (Astra) so maybe it could be used on a lower setting. Be careful when changing the number
99% of the time, Absolutely. However I had an old Gillette Twist with a white plastic handle that started crumbling, but the head is still useable so I might make a new handle for it one day
Gillette Slim Adjustable from 1965. Bought second hand and used daily for 5 years now, no sign of stopping any time soon (got a backup from 1964 just in case)
