Date codes for Gillette razors

Been looking on eBay for a 1961 DE Gillette razor but running into sellers with different date codes for 61. Ie c3 & j4
any help would be appreciated .

The letter represents the year of manufacture, the number, that of the quarter in that year. That is to say.... 1 is Jan-March, 2 is April-June, 3 is July-Sept, and 4 is Oct-Dec.
A razor made in the year of 1961 will have the letter G, followed by the number relating to the quarter of its manufacture.

Here is a date code chart Razor Archive | Gillette Date Codes for future reference.
