My first razor purchase in a long. After several years of hoarding, I settled down to a couple of DE razors and a handful of straights. But this late model red tip caught my eye. Nemo made me buy it.
I’m still very glad to have an English Gillette Red Tip in my den, also an English 1950s Gillette Rocket Flare Tip coming soon in the mail from USAnyone who calls a red tip mild must be having trouble with English as a second language. Great razors, though!
My only Red Tip, and my second vintage razor, is a '56. Since I've repainted the red portion myself, I feel a special connection to it. Just used it yesterday, in fact, for a very smooth shave.Nice. I have 2 '56 Red Tips. Great razors.
