I first tried a Gillette Red Tip last year and was disappointed with it. It left my neck irritated and I figured it must have been too aggressive for my skin. So I sold it and decided to stick to milder razors. This year I got a Gillette Slim and found that it gave me a good shave at a 5. So I thought that maybe my technique was to blame for my issues with the Red Tip (I had been DE shaving for a couple months at the time). So last month got one from Ebay and gave it another shot.
What a difference a year made . I shaved with it for a couple weeks and like it better than the Slim. The extra weight and shorter handle make it easier for me to use plus I get great shaves with it. The only issue I have is the head makes it more difficult to shave under my nose. This razor is a keeper for me.
Overall it was good lesson in getting my technique down before jumping into new products.
