The Black Beauty is a really a nice razor, I've never tried a black Super Speed, but I will when I find one. Congrats.

"Look what I found"
The reward for visiting one of my honeyhole thrift shops today. A complete Wardonia travel kit. Even has original blades and soap.
Sweet find! Will you be using it with the soap?
It is. I have the long handle version as well. I think i prefer this one. The black Super Speeds are great. This one is actually my second. To me they dont feel that much different than the regular flair tip SS

"Look what I found"
I don't think so. It has been sealed all these years and I have enough soap already.
I gave it a go this morning with a GSB. It was a great shave. I am very pleased with the purchase thus far!
My Parker Variant came in today.
It's no Toggle but I'm happy with it. Yes that was a jealous jab.
Lol nice find.

That is an awesome find especially from a thrift store. That is a beautiful set.
I recently was telling my dad about my Schone, and he had been raving about his razor from Stirling with the aggressive head, so last week we swapped 'em for a few days. Sadly, he didn't seem too impressed with the Schone. I, on the other hand, totally fell for the Stirling. Amazingly smooth shave with no problems.
As far as I've read on B&B, the Stirling razor is the same as Maggard's. I was going to buy from Stirling, but Maggard's had that free shipping over the weekend, in addition to some other samples that I wanted to buy. So Friday night (well into the wee hours) I loaded up my shopping cart with the MR6 handle and the V3A head, along with some aftershave samples.
Amazingly, the razor delivered yesterday. Holy cow that was quick, though I'm not terribly far from them.
So, I shaved with it last night, and I like this razor enough to know that I can get rid of some of my lesser-favorite modern razors that have now become redundant. Fortunately, I'm only mildly afflicted with RAD, and I definitely found what may become my "daily driver".
By the way, for $20 (or less, depending on what you get), the handle alone is not a bad deal at all, but throw in a head, and that's quite the bargain.

If you are only mildly affected with RAD, then you're not trying hard enough. Pick it up......
Caleb; Dupli-Color Harvest Red is a perfect match for your 1955 TTO knob. If you send it to Captain Murphy on the site- he can ultrasonically clean both and polish, remove the center TTO rod on the A4, and paint the TTO knob separately. Nice Sir! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown
Thanks, buddy! Not sure if I want to have it completely re-done. Its cleaned up pretty nice and is all even and locks up tight. I may or may not touch up the red.
Glad I could help Caleb! You may be able to mask off the handle and try it attached. God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown
I'm kinda leaning towards not. The red is a little banged up looking...But that's cool. It's just history and character. I'm a little impressed by how much heavier it is than other super speeds. I'm looking forward to using it.
You will enjoy it Sir! God Bless! Tony Brown RN mgbbrown
My haul today:
For the last couple of months, my RAD has been on hold, partly due to the lack of razors in my area worth buying. But mostly due to a new disorder, Cast Iron cookware. The force is strong with this one, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. 
Well, after last weekend, I'm back! My wife and I went out to the flea markets and estate sales, like we do most weekends. This time I think I found something at every place we went to.
And then today I stopped at a small flea market on the way home and found these.
