Hi friends,
I have noticed that I can bring extra life out to my blades if I put them into my Red Tip Super Speed. Less skip and jump on those tough patches of whiskers, presumably due to the heft. For example, I had an easier time shaving with a Red Tip SS (blade on shave 8, 65 grams) than a NEW (blade on shave 7, 54 grams).
Maybe I should look into adding some weight to one of my NEWs to test the theory. Any advice on a different handle to use or a way to add weight to the NEW? I have a short comb and two long combs to experiment with (short comb is my favorite of the 3). The lightweight bar handles have been a point of curiosity for me.
I like the red tip, but it doesn't seem quite as efficient.
Any help or advice is appreciated!
Josh
