Red Tip vs Slim

[billgoat94]

I already have a Slim. RAD is sneaking up on me. If I already have a slim, is it worth adding a Red Tip to the collection? Is there a worthwhile difference between a Slim on 5 and a Red Tip?

FWIW, my favorite razor is a 1960 SS, but i think i would like it to be a little more aggressive sometimes.

The Red Tip is a fine razor. For me, it is more aggressive than a slim on 5. Probably closer to 7+.

The Red Tip is an excellent razor. I will 2nd what ackvil said, I find the Red Tip is more on the scale of a 6-7 on a Slim. I would get the razor because the handle and head geometry is different from the Slim and the handle is different from the 1960's regular SS.

I really like the size and weight of the Red Tip, it's also a really sharp looking razor. It's a much different shave than my adjustable.

Enablers, to the last. That being said, I have a red tip on the way, and I'm looking to add a slim to see how it stacks up.

+1 i have to agree with Alex. The Red Tips are very nice shavers and worth the purchase.
