Rediscovering Red Tip

One of the benefits of having a variety of razors in rotation (I currently have a dozen) is rediscovering a razor that you haven't used in a while.

I've been working through my four recently acquired Techs for the last month. But Monday morrning this week my red tip super speed called out "It's my turn". Loaded with a Feather and using TOBS shave cream, the red tip is giving me a near BBS shave in three passes, not needing an ATG pass. To be honest, I had forgotten how its weight, balance, head shape and handle size work together to produce such excellent results. Followed up with Mama Bear's winter ASB, my face is in heaven.
 
My birth year Red Tip is the one currently loaded with a Crystal blade on my shaving stand. The Red Tip is my favorite Super Speed...
 
Just ordered a unused '57 Red Tip off the bay which arrived yesterday in perfect condition.

I was so excited I already put in a Feather blade last night and it's sitting there waiting for it's first use tomorrow morning (I'm skipping a day for dramatic affect). :thumbup1:
