Do You Notice A Difference Between SuperSpeeds?

[michiganlover]

Just curious, I was just wondering if you guys really notice a difference among the various Superspeeds in terms of how they shave?

I have a 1940's Style Superspeed, a Red Tip, and a Blue Tip. The Red Tip is quite obviously more aggressive (I can feel the difference), but the Blue Tip, and 40's style seem to shave very similar.

So are the differences very small, or I am just too much of a newbie to notice the difference?

Out of the three, the 40's style is my current favorite.

i get a much smoother shave from a late 50s SS than i do with the 48 i have.

I prefer the 40's style head (used up to the late 50's flair tips) to the lower profile heads.

I definitely prefer the 40s style head as it was heavier to say the old 70s Style I sold. Just seems to have more heft!

I noticed that once I was able to recognize the proper angle for a given razor, it made less difference what razor I used. However, the lighter/less aggressive razors allow a greater degree of control without irritation. The more aggressive and heavy the razor gets, the less feel and more irritation I experience.

That's one of the reasons I like the NEW, Tech and early Super Speed. The '70 Adjustable works great for me on lower settings, but it gets a lot less comfortable past 4.

I definitely feel a difference with the red tip, not much difference felt between the plain flare and the 40s and 60s for me.
With any mild razor I can't get a decent shave, the stubble is still there after 4 passes.
